Some Nuclear States ofRh103

Abstract

The gamma rays emitted in de-excitation of ${\mathrm{Rh}}^{103}$ following beta decay of ${\mathrm{Ru}}^{103}$ have been studied in a Ge(Li) detector and with coincident scintillation counters. Quanta have been detected at energies of 53, 297, 445, 498, 557, and 610 keV with relative intensities of 0.41, 0.31, 0.40, 100, 0.87, and 7.35. The data also indicate the presence of a gamma ray at 65 keV. The $K$-shell conversion coefficient of the 53-keV gamma ray has been measured to be 1.77±0.03. A disintegration scheme for ${\mathrm{Ru}}^{103}$ has been proposed.
