Electric monopole component in the 2+' → 2+ transition in 192Pt

Angular correlation measurements of K- and L-conversion electrons following the decay ¹⁹²Ir → ¹⁹²Pt have been made using a spectrometer with Ge(Li) and Si (Li) detectors. Absolute and relative internal conversion coefficients of transitions in ¹⁹²Pt were measured, using an ICC and prism β-spectrometers, to ≈ 2 % and values of δ_γ determined from the relative ICC. The experimental values measured in the study, A₂₂(K296γ316) = 0.138 ± 0.010, A₂₂(L296γ316) = 0.125 ± 0.013, α_K(296) = 0.0711 ± 0.0011, K/L_III = 9.65 ± 0.13. With δ_γ = + 5.4 ± 0.2, were employed for determining the E0/E2 amplitude ratios of conversion transitions, q(E0/E2), and the penetration parameter λ of the Ml component for the 2⁺' → 2⁺ (296 keV) transition in ¹⁹²Pt. The angular correlation measurements of L-conversion electrons enabled the elimination of one of two ranges of values of q and λ usually obtained. For the first time in our work, analysis of the e_Lγ angular correlation for the determination of the E0 component in the transition was carried out. As a result, q = +0.04 ± 0.05 with λ = ?4.5 ± 3.5 was obtained for the 296 keV transition. In this case, _ρ(E0) = 0.004 ± 0.005 agrees with _ρ(E0) = +0.006 determined theoretically by Kumar and Baranger for the 2⁺' → 2⁺ transition
