Internal Conversion in the L-Subshells

Abstract

SummaryThe relative intensities of conversion-electron lines from the, three L-subshells have been determined for a number of y-transitions, and the results compared with the theoretical values of ~llman, Griffith, and Stanley (1952)_ Experiment has been shown to be in accord with theory.Calculations of theoretical K/L ratios indicate that the empirieal curves of Goldhaber and Sunyar (1951) may need to be modified, especially for low Z. For a given Z'/E, the K/L ratio increases with decreasing atomic number.
