Abstract
The decay of (39.6 d) has been investigated with an iron-core, double-focussing -ray spectrometer. The internal-conversion-electron spectrum revealed the presence of rays of 609.89(24), 556.85(22), 496.88(16), 443.85(15), 294.88(16), 53.11(3), and 39.55(4) keV. No new lines with an intensity greater than 1.6% of the line were found. The line was found to have an intensity less than 0.17%, and the and lines an intensity less than 0.3%, of the line. Limitations on the multipolarities and mixing ratios of some of the transitions have been determined through - and -subshell ratios, and through internal-conversion-coefficient measurements. The multipolarities obtained for the seven observed transitions were compared with angular-correlation results. This resulted in the spin-parity assignments of , , and for the 39.55(4)-, 92.66(5)-, and 649.48(24)-keV states, respectively. The 536.47(16)-keV level is shown to have a spin parity of either or .
