THE BETA DECAY OF Cs¹³⁴

Abstract

Magnetic spectrometer studies have revealed that the β decay of Cs 134 proceeds via three partial spectra whose end-point energies, intensities, and log 10 ft values are as follows:[Formula: see text]No evidence is found for β transitions of intermediate energies. Upper limits have been placed on two previously reported β transitions of higher energy as follows:[Formula: see text]These β intensities to a revised level scheme produce a good balance with the γ-ray intensities depopulating the levels.The Q β − value is 2.059 Mev.
