Evidence against anomalous epsilon/. beta. /sup +/ ratios in the. beta. decay of /sup 145/Gd

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)

Anomalies which were previously reported in the intensity ratios of electron capture to positron emission for ..beta.. transitions from /sup 145/Gd to 12 levels in /sup 145/Eu have been shown to be nonexistent. The ..gamma.. spectrum of /sup 145/Gd has been measured and the total ..beta.. feeding to high-energy levels has been estimated. A revised Q value was determined: Q/sub epsilon/MeV.
