Test of internal-conversion theory with a measurement in 111Cd
We have measured the K-shell and total internal conversion coefficients for the 150.8-keV E3 transition in 111Cd: αK = 1.449(18) and αT = 2.217(26) respectively. The αK value agrees well with Dirac-Fock calculations, in which the effect of the K-shell atomic vacancy is included. It is consistent wit...

| Summary: | We have measured the K-shell and total internal conversion coefficients for the 150.8-keV E3 transition in 111Cd: αK = 1.449(18) and αT = 2.217(26) respectively. The αK value agrees well with Dirac-Fock calculations, in which the effect of the K-shell atomic vacancy is included. It is consistent with our previous precise measurements of αK values, which cover a range of atomic numbers, and extends that range down to Z = 48. The αT measurement, however, disagrees by about two standard deviations from the calculated αT value, whether the atomic vacancy is included or not. |
