Abstract: | The total andK-shell conversion coefficients of the 165 keV transition in the decay of197mHg are determined from intensity balance considerations and a coincidence technique using a Ge(Li)—NaI (Tl) system respectively.

=47±12, whil the corresponding theoretical values are 344 and 77 respectively, indicating anomalous conversion. The gamma
ray transition probability however, shows a hindrance of only about 6 and cannot be correlated with the present anomalous
conversion data. TheK/L ratio of the 130 keV transition, determined using a summing method with a Ge(Li) detector, yielded 0.090±0.012, while the
corresponding theoretical value is 0.048, indicating anomalous conversion. The corresponding gamma transition probability
shows a hindrance of about 3000, in correlation with anomalous conversion. |
