Intensitätsmessung von Röntgen- und Kerngammastrahlung an einigen schweren Myonenatomen

Absolute intensities of the 5–4 muonic X-ray transition in muonic W, Os, and Bi, and relative intensities of other X-ray transitions have been measured and compared with cascade calculations. The excitation of several levels in W, Os, Ir, Tl, and Bi nuclei resulting from the muonic cascade process has been observed and absolute excitation probabilities have been determined. For the first 2⁺ level of¹⁸⁸Os and the first 3/2⁺-levels of^203,205Tl the excitation probabilities are larger than calculated. The results are discussed.
