Description

The first experimental evidence for electron correlation in nuclear electron-capture ratios is reported. The measured M/L capture ratio of 37Ar, 0.073 +- 0.007, is inconsistent with Hartree-Fock calculations, but can be explained by final-state correlation, if the disputed 3s3p6 assignment in Cl I is adopted. The discrepancy in the experimental Kβ/Kα x-ray intensity ratio of Cl is removed, and the designation of L23 x-ray and 3s photoemission satellites in Cl is revised
