Double K-shell vacancy creation in the decay of /sup 169/Yb

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., A; (United States)
By means of a curved-crystal spectrometer an upper limit has been established for the intensity of the K..cap alpha../sub 1/ hypersatellite x-ray line emitted in the decay of /sup 169/Yb. From this limit the probability P/sub K K/(IC) of double K-shell vacancy creation per K internal conversion can be deduced: P/sub K K/(IC) approximately-less-than 11 x 10/sup -5/.
