The antiprotonic x-ray cascade in Mo isotopes (PS 186)

The antiprotonic x-ray cascade has been measured for the four molybdenum isotopes 92Mo, 94Mo, 98Mo, and 100Mo. Isotope effects in the cascade wee not observed. The x-ray intensities were found to be well reproduced by cascade calculations starting at N=20 with a modified statistical or a linear distribution. In these calculations K and L electron depletion and refilling were taken into account. Nuclear absorption widths derived from a recent set of optical potential parameters were used
