INVESTIGATIONS ON THE DECAY OF Ag$sup 103$, Ag$sup 104$, AND Rh$sup 10$$sup 4$

Journal Article · · Nuclear Phys.

The Ag/sup 103/ and Ag/sup 104/ isotopes were produced by irradiating Rh/ sup 103/ with alpha particles. Bombarding energies of 50, 40, 30, and 10 Mev were used, whereby these isotopes were produced in different proportions, thus facilitating the assignment of the various radiation characteristics. The 60 minute Ag/sup 103/ was found to decay mainly by an approx equal 1.2 Mev positon transition to the ground state of Pd/sup 103/; a weak gamma ray of 120 kev may also be present in the decay of this isotope. Gamma rays of 555. 745, 780, 860, 935, 1260, to the decay of the 70 minute Ag/sup 104/. Most of these gamma rays also occur in the decay of 4.4 minutc Rh/sup 104/, which was examined under the same experimental conditions. No positons with energy > 1.2 Mev are present in the 70 minute Ag/sup 104/ activity. The decay of the 17 minute Ag/sup 104/ shows gamma rays of 155 and 780 kev and two positon groups of 2.6 and 1.9 Mev. A level scheme is proposed for Pd/sup 104/. (auth)
