The decay of Cs/sup 132/ is studied with scintillation spectrometers. Gamma rays are observed with the following energies (and relative intensities): 485 ction in DDT-C/ 20 (1.7). 635 ction in DDT-C/ 1035 ction in DDT-C/ 10 (0.2), 1140 ction in DDT-C/ 10(0.5), and 1320 ction in DDT-C/ 10 (0.73) kev. The gamma rays at 485 and 1035 kev are attributed to the de-excitation of levels at these energies in Ba/sup 132/ following the BETA -decay of Cs/sup 132/; all the others are attributed to transitions in Xe/sup 132/ following electron capture of positron emission. Positron branching to the 668-kev level in Xe/sup 132/ is observed with an intensity of 0.3 to 0.6%. The end-point energy of the positron spectrum is 400 x 25 kev, corresponding to an energy difference of 2090 ction in DDT-C/ 25 kev between the ground states of Cs/sup 132/ and Xe/sup 132/. (auth)
