The decay of Au194

The Decay of190Au

“…Prominent and isolated lines from the lg['Au decay could be assigned from their half-life, \\hich was obtained by following the decay of the spectra through several hours. In more complex situations involving weak lines or groups of unresolved lines, the detailed knowledge [13,18,[21][22][23] of the internal conversion spectra of the coexistent isotopes was a prerequisite for carrying out the analysis. In addition the informa- tion from the gamma-ray measurements was frequently used to verify the assignments.…”

“…Besides lS0Au, both lg2Au and IQnAu are positon emitters uith endpoint energies of 2.5 MeV [I31 and 1.5 MeV [23], respectively. The measurements were therefore restricted to the positon energy region above 2.5 MeV with the intention to establish the decay @value and the intensity of the ground state branch.…”

Nuclear structure of194Pt

“…The internal conversion coefficients used in the determination of transition intensities and multipolarities were computed from conversion electron and y-ray intensities of the ~94Au decay studies [9,11,12]. Associated with each transition in Figure 1 …”

“…Thorough studies [9][10][11][12] of the decay of 194Au to the levels of 194pt have led to the development of a rather complete scheme of the 194Au decay. In the present work, the PPQ model as applied to ~94pt undergoes a crucial test with the direct comparison of experimental and theoretical relative B(E2) values.…”
