Measurement of a branching ratio of bound and continuum-state β- decay

Description

The first measurement of a ratio λβb/λβc of bound-state (λβb) and continuum-state (λβc ) β- -decay rates for the case of bare 207Tl81+ ions is reported. Since β- -decay to a bound final state of the released electron is the time-reversed process of electron capture, the measurement is an approach to test β-decay theory. The experimental result, λβb/λβc = 0.188(18), is in excellent agreement with the theoretical value of 0.171(1). (author)
