Calculation of fractional electron capture probabilities

New Results from the Search for Low-Mass Weakly Interacting Massive Particles with the CDMS Low Ionization Threshold Experiment

“…Hints of other peaks can be seen on top of a smooth background from Compton scattering of higherenergy gamma rays. The observed ratio of the rates for the M-and L-capture peaks is 0.16 ± 0.03, compared to an expected 0.17 [46]. Other numerical characterizations of the primary components of the spectrum are listed in Table I.…”

Auger yield calculations for medical radioisotopes

“…maintained regularly and this will ensure the initial vacancy distribution is calculated with the latest evaluated nuclear data. Fractional electron capture probabilities for allowed and non-unique first forbidden transitions are calculated using an algorithm derived by Schönfeld [30]. Capture probabilities of other forbidden transitions are currently estimated with the same algorithm.…”

A Model to Realize the Potential of Auger Electrons for Radiotherapy

“…The released energy, E ν will be shared by the emitted neutrino and, if applicable, the bremsstrahlung photon or shakeoff electron. A comprehensive compilation of the relevant electron capture probability ratios for the K, L, M, N and O shells has been presented by Schönfeld [8].…”
