INTERNAL CONVERSION—a process whereby an excited nucleus interacts directly with an orbital electron, imparting its excitation energy to the electron—has been intensively studied in the past few years. Experimental measurements have included K and L conversion coefficients, L and M subshell conversion‐intensity ratios, and K‐, L‐ and M‐shell particle parameters (factors relating angular distributions of conversion electrons to those of corresponding gamma rays).
