The effect of the nuclear Coulomb field on atomic ionization at positron-electron annihilation in β+- decay

We consider the process of the annihilation of a positron emitted at β+- decay and a K-electron of the daughter atom. A part of energy during this process is passed to another K- electron and it leaves the atom. The influence of the Coulomb field on the positron and the ejected electron is considere...

Description
Summary:We consider the process of the annihilation of a positron emitted at β+- decay and a K-electron of the daughter atom. A part of energy during this process is passed to another K- electron and it leaves the atom. The influence of the Coulomb field on the positron and the ejected electron is considered. It was calculated the probability of this process for an atom with arbitrary Z is calculated. For the nucleus Ti the effect of the Coulomb field essentially increases the probability of the considered process.
