Gamma-ray-L-x-ray directional correlations in182W

Directional correlations between gamma radiation andL x-rays in¹⁸²W have been measured. The x-rays are emitted following the internal conversion process of the 100.1 keV 2⁺ → 0⁺ transition. The experimental results for anisotropies involving gamma radiation emitted in the 1189.0 keV transition andL x-rays are A(γ?L _l )=?0.073(27),A(γ?L _α)=?0.0102(45),A(γ?L _β)=?0.0031(35), andA(γ?L _γ)=?0.007(13). The value deduced for the coefficientU ₂(e) pertaining to the converted transition isU ₂(e)=0.52(8) in reasonable agreement with the theoretically expected value 0.410. A note is given on the use of internal conversion radial matrix elements.
