Angular correlation between ejected L electrons and α particles in 210Po decay

Description

The angular correlation between α particles and electrons emitted from the L atomic shell during 210Po α decay has been measured over an angular range from 00 to 900 for electrons in the energy range from 5 to 20 keV. The angular distribution of the α particles in the forward hemisphere with respect to the direction of the electrons was found to be almost isotropic with no strong forward peaking. Implications of this result on the hypothesis of electron pickup by α particles are discussed
