Decay ofCr51

Abstract

The spectrum of $\gamma$ rays from ${\mathrm{Cr}}^{51}$ was examined, including the spectrum in coincidence with the strong 325-kev $\gamma$ ray. The shape and intensity of the internal bremsstrahlung spectrum accompanying the $K$-capture transition to the ground state was found to be in fair agreement with theory as also was, within the experimental error, the intensity of the internal bremsstrahlung accompanying the $K$-capture decay to the 325-kev level.
