Prompt conversion electrons from excited 254No nuclei were measured. Discrete lines and a broad electron cascade distribution suggest M1 transitions in high K states.

Area of Science:

  • Nuclear Physics
  • Atomic Physics

Background:

  • Understanding nuclear structure and decay modes is crucial in nuclear physics.
  • Spectroscopic studies provide insights into nuclear energy levels and transitions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To measure and analyze the spectrum of prompt conversion electrons from excited 254No nuclei.
  • To investigate the nature of transitions within the ground state band and high K states.

Main Methods:

  • High-resolution spectroscopy of conversion electrons.
  • Analysis of electron energy distributions and multiplicities.

Main Results:

  • Observed discrete lines corresponding to ground state band transitions.
  • Detected a broad distribution of electrons peaking around 100 keV.
