The gamma ray spectrum of63Zn

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965)

Summary

The γ ray spectrum from the decay of63Zn was measured with scintillation techniques and a complete quantitative analysis was performed. The γ rays found are reported with their relative intensities in Table I and compared with the levels found in63Cu by the recent inelastic proton scattering experiment reported byMazari, Buechner andde Figueiredo. The main features of the proposed partial decay scheme of63Zn are discussed.

Riassunto

Uno studio completo dello spettro γ associato al decadimento del63Zn è stato compiuto per mezzo della tecnica a scintillazione. Una dettagliata analisi dello spettro ha permesso di trovare numerosi raggi γ, che sono riportati con le loro intensità relative nella Tabella I. Essi sono in buon accordo con i livelli del63Cu recentemente trovati per scattering inelastico di protoni daMazari, Buechner ede Figueiredo. Si discutono le caratteristiche essenziali dello schema di decadimento proposto.
