Abstract
Electromagnetic radiation intensities from levels of were remeasured with NaI scintillation detectors and an argon proportional chamber. By absolute and coincidence counting the photon intensities per alpha particle are 0.376, 0.025, 0.00073, and 0.359 for the x-rays and the 26.4-, 43.4-, and 59.6-kev gamma rays, respectively. Gamma rays with 99- and 103-kev energy were found by coincidence. The 99-kev ray is emitted from the 159-kev level with an intensity of 2.3×. The 103-kev ray, of intensity 1.9× per alpha particle, is a de-excitation of the 103-kev level. The intensity of x-rays from levels above 59.6 kev is 0.064. Coincidence intensities of 26-kev rays with x-rays from conversion of the 33.2-kev ray and of x-rays from these transitions are 0.01 and 0.031 per alpha particle, respectively.
