Weak transitions in160Tb decay

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1971-1996)

Summary

The decay scheme of the 72.3d 160Tb and γ-transitions in160Dy has been studied by γ-ray spectroscopy with high-efficiency Ge(Li) and HPGe detectors. The intensity of the 1004.8 keV γ-ray is measured to be 0.04±0.01 relative to 30 for the 879.353 keV γ-ray. Gamma-rays of energies 707.6 and 239.70 keV with relative intensities 0.010±0.005 and 0.002±0.001 are observed and assigned to160Dy. The energies and relative intensities of all other γ-rays are remeasured to remove anomalies in the previous reports. A new β-group of intensity (0.032±0.012)% and logft 11.2±0.2 is proposed to feed the 1288.6 keV level in160Dy. The total conversion coefficient of the 197.008 keV transition in160Dy is measured to be 0.22±0.08. The total andK-shell conversion coefficients of the 86.796 keV transition in160Dy are remeasured and the results obtained are 4.71±0.20 and 1.54±0.12, respectively. The results of the branching ratios of β and γ transitions are discussed. The band-mixing parametersz 2 for160Dy is determined and it is observed that the measured γ-ray branching ratios do not lead to a unique value ofz 2 for160Dy.

Riassunto

Si studia lo schema di decadimento di 72.3d 160Tb e le transizioni γ in160Dy con la spettroscopia dei raggi γ con rivelatori ad alta efficienza Ge(Li) e HPGe. L’intensità misurata del raggio γ a 1004.8 keV è 0.04±0.01 relativa a 30 per il raggio γ a 879.353 keV. Sono stati osservati e assegnati a160Dy raggi γ d’energia 707.6 e 239.70 keV con intensità relative 0.010±0.005 e 0.002±0.001. Sono state misurate nuovamente le energie e le intensità relative di tutti gli altri raggi γ per rimuovere le anomalie riscontrate in precedenti lavori. Si propone un nuovo gruppo β di intensità (0.032±0.012)% e logft 11.2±0.2 per alimentare il livello 1288.6 keV in160Dy. Il coefficiente misurato di conversione totale della transizione a 197.008 keV in160Dy risulta di 0.22±0.08. Si misurano nuovamente i coefficienti di conversione totale e dello stratoK della transizione a 86.796 keV in160Dy e i risultati ottenuti sono, rispettivamente, 4.71±0.20 e 1.54±0.12. Si discutono i risultati dei rapporti di diramazione delle transizioni β e γ. Si determina il parametroz 2 di mescolamento di banda per160Dy e si osserva che i rapporti di diramazione dei raggi gamma non portano ad un unico valore diz 2 per160Dy.
