Abstract
The fragmentation of InI and InI3 initiated by electron capture in In114 itm was studied by investigating the profile of the 558 keV γ line emitted by the Cd114 nuclei. The profile was deduced from measured cross sections for the resonant scattering of the 558 keV quanta in coincidence with the preceding 724 keV quanta. Predictions using a simple model for the fragmentation are in agreement with the experimental results for InI. The average energy of the fragments amounts to about 120 eV.
