Abstract

The relative transition probabilities

\frac{K β_{3}}{K β_{1}}

,

\frac{K β_{2}}{K β_{1}}

,

\frac{K O_{23}}{K β_{1}}

,

\frac{K P_{23}}{K β_{1}}

,

\frac{K β_{5}}{K β_{1}}

, and

\frac{K β_{4}}{K β_{1}}

are measured by Ge spectroscopy for the atoms having

Z = 70, 78, 82, and 92

. In contrast to previous data, the results exhibit smooth

Z

dependences and agree closely with Scofield's relativistic Hartree-Fock calculations. A tentative observation of the

K M_{1}

transition is reported.
