Aufbau eines automatisch arbeitenden π√2-Spektrometers und Untersuchung des Konversionslinienspektrums von In^114m und ThB mit Folgeprodukten

Abstract

An automatically operatedπ√2 spectrometer is described. The regulated current supply is transistorized. With this spectrometer the electron spectra of In^114m and of ThB with daughter products have been investigated. TheK/L ratio of the 191 keV isomeric transition in In^114m was found to be 1·25±0·03, in excellent agreement with the theoretical value ofSliv andBand. In the electron spectrum of ThB and daughter products 46 lines were found betweenBϱ=1750Г cm andBϱ=10000Г cm. Some of them are new. Most important is a new weak line atBϱ=7030Г cm which fixes a new level atE=1·807 MeV in ThC′ (Po²¹²). Simultaneously the earlier reported discrepancy between electron andγ-ray intensities for 1·8 MeV transition energy is resolved. There is anE0 transition of 1·800 MeV while the new line is theK conversion line of a new radiative transition (most probablyM2). A spin ofI=2+ is assigned to the 1·680 MeV level of ThC′. The 0·953 MeV transition from this level isM1, withE0 admixture.
