Assessment of internal conversion coefficients for anomalous electric dipole transitions
1Dzhelepov Laboratory of Nuclear Problems, Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, 141980, Moscow region, Dubna, Russian Federation.
Abstract:
Sound quantitative knowledge of internal conversion coefficients (ICCs) is important when establishing decay schemes. ICCs are normally derived from efficiency tables and calculation, but for anomalous transitions and some electric dipole transitions (E1) in particular, theoretical values can differ considerably from the few available measured values. Experimentally measured ICCs and their ratios have been compiled, and these data have been used to propose a method based on the existence of measured ratios to determine the total ICC for such transitions. Comparisons have been made with the existing measured values, and good agreement was observed within the uncertainty limits.

Theoretically, studying electric dipoles leads to understanding why the resultant electric forces around us are weak. Since electric forces are strong, remnant net charges are rare. Hence, the interaction between dipoles helps us understand electrical interactions in...
