Abstract

The K-capture probability (P K) in the decay of139Ce (137.5d) has been determined from the analysis of the K x-ray gamma ray sum-peak observed with a Ge (Li) x-ray detector. Furthermore,P K is estimated independently from the measurement of the K x-ray intensity in the decay, using the known conversion coefficients of the 165.8 keV transition. Using the weighted average ofP K measured as above, the mass difference between139Ce and139La is found to be 273 +21−13 keV.
