Discrepancies among theoretical and experimental internal conversion coefficients

  • Published:

Abstract

A reported discrepancy of 3% between experimentalK conversion coefficients forE3 andM4 transitions and those calculated by Hager and Seltzer is reduced here to a level consistent with numerical errors by using RHFS wave functions with Rosen Lindgren exchange. We find that variation of the exchange term is insufficient to explain reported discrepancies among different calculations near threshold. Comparison of measured and calculated values near threshold indicates that present experimental data can not distinguish between the Hager and Seltzer values and those computed here.
