THE K–LL AUGER SPECTRUM OF 62Sm152

Abstract

The K–LL Auger spectrum of 62Sm152 has been studied in the Chalk River high-resolution β-ray spectrometer with a proportional counter detector. Seven lines were observed in the Auger spectrum with the following energies and relative intensities:[Formula: see text]These measurements are compared with the theoretical predictions of Asaad and Burhop. The measured energies are ~50–60 ev higher than their predictions. Discrepancies exist in the relative intensities but these are smaller than were observed at Z = 94.
