Description
A reexamination of the γ-ray spectrum of 56Co has revealed a previously unobserved transition of 852.78(5) keV decaying with the 56Co half-life. Its intensity is 0.050(3) relative to I847=100. Alternate explanations for this peak, such as summing, have been ruled out and the γ ray is assigned as the 4298.0(4+)→3445.3(3+) transition in 56Fe with a branching ratio of 1.4(1)%. Assuming an M1 assignment and a negligible E2 component, we find B(M1)=6.5(30)x10-3 W.u., which lies between the B(M1) values for the other two M1 transitions from the 4298-keV state
