The Disintegration ofAg110

Abstract

The disintegration of ${\mathrm{Ag}}^{110}$ has been investigated using spectrometer and coincidence technique. The radiation contains a great number of $\beta$- and $\gamma$-components and the disintegration scheme is complicated. Four $\beta$-components and ten $\gamma$-rays have been found and their energies and intensities measured. The 225-day activity is due to an isomeric level in Ag, separated 116 kev from the 24-sec. ground level. The internal conversion coefficient of the $\gamma$-ray at 656 kev has been determined to be 2.5×${10}^{-3\mathrm{}}$ by means of coincidence spectrometry. The disintegration scheme is discussed.
