Mixing Ratios of Transitions in the Decay ofIr192

Abstract
Mixing ratios of the 485-keV transition in Os192 and the 296-, 308-, and 604-keV transitions in Pt192 populated from the decay of Ir192 were measured using the γγ directional-correlation method. In addition, the 468-316-keV, 589-612-keV, 885-316-keV, and 1063-316-keV γγ directional correlations in Pt192 have been remeasured. Coaxial and planar Ge(Li) detectors and NaI(Tl) scintillation detectors were used in different combinations depending on the energy resolution required for a particular measurement. The results for the mixing ratios are δ485=+(10.91.5+2.1), δ296=(9.11.7+2.7), δ308=(9.9±1.0), and δ604=+(2.0±0.2). The over-all agreement of the signs, as well as the absolute values of the mixing ratios with predictions of the pairing-plus-quadrupole model of Kumar and Baranger, is good.
