Determination of Fractional Electron Capture Probabilities of 125I Using Metallic Magnetic Calorimeters

Journal of Low Temperature Physics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Fractional electron capture probability ratios of 125I were measured using metallic magnetic calorimeters (MMCs). Due to the 4π geometry of the source embedded in the absorber, detection efficiency of nearly 99% was observed for K, L, M, and N capture events. The fractional capture probabilities were calculated from peak area ratios.
