Abstract

A scintillation counter method, which eliminates the need for escape corrections, has been developed for the measurement of L/K capture ratio for intermediate and high Z nuclei. With this method the L/K capture ratio has been determined for 131Cs at 0.153 ± 0.008. The computed value for this simple allowed transition, of known energy, is 0.145, which lies only marginally lower.
