O-1(+)-]O+ ELECTRIC MONOPOLE TRANSITION IN CD-112

The low-lying levels of112Cd have been populated in the decay of112In (T1/2=14m) produced through the112Cd (p, n)112In reaction at Ep=6.5-7 MeV. The intensity ratio of the E0 to E2 K-conversion electrons from the 01+ level to the ground (0+) and to the first (2+) excited state in112Cd has been measured and the ratio X(E0/E2) =B(E0;01+→0+)/B(E2;01+→2+) has been determined. The result is compared with the predictions of current macroscopic models. © 1979 Springer-Verlag.
