DasL/K-Einfangverhältnis von48Vanadium

We measured theL/K-capture ratio of⁴⁸V for all transitions simultaneously and foundP _L /P _K =0.104±0.004. Coincidence measurements with the γ-rays by scintillation counters led toP _L /P _K =0.115 ± 0.015. This latter value is not very exact, but the comparison of the number ofK-pulses in the two sets of measurements allows the statement that the⁴⁹V-impurity in the⁴⁸V was less than 1.1% at the time of delivery and less than 10% during the measurements. So a possible⁴⁹V-impurity did not disturb the results.
