Recent Experimental Results on Orbital Electron Capture

Abstract
A summary is presented of experimental techniques and experimental results on electron-capture ratios, comparative half-lives, and transition energies. The effect of electron capture from the M shell and higher shells is taken into account. Transition energies are computed from the observed capture ratios for about twenty cases. A summary of mean L-fluorescence yields following nuclear excitation is brought up to date, and the origins of uncertainties in the interpretation of experimental results are discussed.
