particles
detected in coincidence with the 221-keV
γ
ray as well as with
a conversion electron in the tunnel [see Fig.
4(c)
]. The statistics
are poor, but it is clear that the centroid of the distribution of
counts lies at lower energies than when no coincident electron
is required [Fig.
4(b)
].
From Fig.
4(a)
, the energy of the
α
particle populating
the 279-keV transition is extracted to be 8003(5) keV. If the
highest energy peak at 8280(10) keV in the
α
spectrum shown
in Fig.
3(a)
is assumed to populate the ground state of
249
Fm,
then the 279-keV transition must be a transition to the ground
state of
251
Fm.
If the 221-keV
γ
ray is also fed by the 8003(5)-keV
α
decay, the summing effects discussed earlier are due to
