THE BETA DECAY OF Cd$sup 115$m

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4229058
The decay of Cd/sup 115m/ an was studied by using NAI(Tl) scintillation counters and a 4 pi beta scintillation spectrometer. The following gamma rays were observed: 0.485 plus or minus 0.007, 0.935 plus or minus 0.014, 1.14 plus or minus 0.017, and 1.29 plus or minus 0.019 Mev. The 0.485- and 0.935- Mev gammas were found to be in coincidence. There were no gammas in coincidence with the 1.29-Mev gamma. The end point energy of the ground state beta transition was determined to be 1.631 plus or minus 0.016 Mev. The shapes and end point energies of the beta groups in coincidence with the 0.935- and the 1.29- Mev gammas were measured. The former has a DELTA I = 2, yes, character, while the latter appears to have an allowed or statistical shape. The end point energies are 0.687 plus or minus 0.008 Mev and 0.335 plus or minus 0.010 Mev, respectively. (auth)
