TheL 2-L 3 Coster-Kronig transition probability at Z=96

Abstract

The total probabilityf 23 for theL 2–L 2 Coster-Kronig transition atZ=96 was measured by theL α−K α1,2 x-ray coincidence technique with a249Cf radioactive source. The value at Z=96 was found to bef 23=0.209±0.022 (2σ, 95% confidence). This result is in agreement within the 2σ error limits with previous measurements which range from 0.188 to 0.226, and this spread cannot be reduced by improvements in the experimental technique primarily because of the large correction required for the effect of nuclear cascading in249Cf decay.
