The electron capture decay of 106mAg

The electron capture decay of 8.4d ^106mAg has been investigated by means of a 4π internal source scintillation spectrometer and a Ge(Li) detector. The L/K capture ratios to the 2952 and 2757 keV excited states of ¹⁰⁶Pd have been measured: (L/K)₂₉₅₂ = 0.203 ± 0.003 and (L/K)₂₇₅₇ = 0.1457 ± 0.0010. The value of Q = 3053 ± 3 keV has been deduced from these L/K ratios.
