Abstract
Coincidence spectrometry with high-resolution Si(Li) and Ge(Li) x-ray spectrometers (resolutions 470-eV full width at half-maximum at 14.4 keV) has been employed to study directly the x rays emitted during the filling of each of the three -subshell primary vacancies in the electron-capture decay of . The x rays, observed in the Si(Li) detector, in fast coincidence ( nsec) with x rays detected in the Ge(Li) detector, arise entirely from initial vacancies in the subshell, while those in coincidence with x rays are from initial -subshell vacancies. The clear presence of x rays, which arise only from vacancies, in the latter spectrum indicates that Coster-Kronig transitions of the type take place. The x rays in coincidence with 1770-, 1063-, and 570-keV rays and with 1063-keV -conversion electrons give information on -subshell quantities. The following results are obtained: , , , , , , , and at .
