Gamma and X-Radiation in the Decay ofAm241

The decay scheme of ${\mathrm{Am}}^{241}$ is discussed in terms of new information on the conversion electrons, gamma rays, and $L$ series x-rays accompanying its alpha decay. The photons were measured with a scintillation spectrometer and a bent crystal spectrometer and the conversion electron spectrum was determined with a double focusing beta-ray spectrometer.
