SOME USEFUL TABLES FOR NUCLEAR SPECTROSCOPY IN TRANSMERCURY GROUP OF ELEMENTS:ELECTRON BINDING ENERGIES, X-RAY ENERGIES, AUGER ELECTRON ENERGIES AND FLUORESCENT YIELDS

摘要

Gamma ray transition energies are frequently determined by measurement of the energy of conversion electrons. In order to calculate the energy of the transition from such data, it is necessary to know the energies required to remove electrons from the various shells and sub-shells of the atom in which the conversion occurs. We present here a table of electron energies for the elements 80-104. The term critical X-ray absorption energies is also applied to these energy values since the absorption of an X-ray as a function of its energy undergoes a sharp increase as its energy just exceeds the value required to remove an electron from the atom.
