Description

Nuclear excitation by electron transition (NEET) occurs in atomic inner-shell ionization if the nuclear excitation and the electron transition have nearly the same energy and a common multipolarity. We successfully observed the NEET on 197Au and on 193Ir using a silicon avalanche diode electron detector. The detector was used to find internal conversion electrons emitted from excited nuclei in time spectroscopy with a time gate method. Some nuclear resonant levels, including 8.410 keV on 169Tm and 80.577 keV on 166Er, were also observed with the detector
