The K/L and K/M conversion ratios of the 769 and 609 kev gamma radiations of Po/sup 214/ were measured with a doublefocusing beta spectrometer. For the K/L ratios the values 3.95 plus or minus 0.2 and 3.43 plus or minus 0.1 were obtained. According to the tables of Rose, both transitions are very pure E2 radiations. This coincides with the conclusions of the theory of collective quadrupole vibrations. This theory. in the modified form of Wilets and Jean, was used for the interpretation of the low-excited levels (609, 1378, and 1416 kev) of Po/sup 214/. Following this model of gamma unstable quadrupole vibrations, one obtains for the nuclear equilibrium deformation the value beta /sub 0/ approx equal 6.7 x 10/sup -2/. (auth)
