Abstract
The Hg x-ray intensity ratio in the decay of has been determined with proportional and scintillation counters, using Ag x rays for intercomparison of detector efficiencies. Beta rays were stopped before they entered the detectors. The shape of the bremsstrahlung spectrum under the x-ray peaks was determined with beta rays. The result is . The mean fluorescence yield of Hg following electron-capture decay of then is , if the capture ratio is 0.42 as measured by Joshi and by Leutz and Ziegler. The partial -shell fluorescence yield of Hg following x-ray emission was measured as from and x-ray coincidences. The partial -shell fluorescence yield of Hg following capture only of is , as determined by the same method.
