Electron Capture Probabilities in105Ag

Abstract

The K-electron capture probabilities for the 1/2---*3/2-and 1/2---* 1/2 + transitions in the decay of a~ were measured for the first time using the sum coincidence method. The experimental PK values were estimated to be 0.824+0.042 and 0.851+0.046 for the allowed and first-forbidden beta transitions, respectively in agreement with the theory. The PL experimental values to these two levels were also computed using the experimental PL/PK values reported by earlier authors. These results are also found to be consistent with the theoretical PL values.
