1. An excited state of 191Ir decays to the ground state by emitting a γ ray of 129.

419
keV.
(a) Calculate the nuclear recoil energy.
(b) Calculate the width Γ. The half- life of the excited state is 123 ps.

2. For the following γ transitions, give all permitted multipoles and indicate
which multipole might be the most intense in the emitted radiation.
(Krane10-6)
(a) 1/2+ → 1/2+
(b) 4+ → 2+
(c) 11/2- → 3/2+
(d) 1- → 2+
(e) 3+ → 3+

3. An even-Z, even-N nucleus has the following sequence of levels above its 0+
ground state: 2+ (89 keV), 4+ (288 keV), 6+ (585 keV), 0+ (1050 keV), 2+
(1129 keV). (Krane 10-10)
(a) Draw an energy level diagram and show all reasonably probable γ transitions
and their dominant multipole assignments.
(b) By considering also internal conversion, what additional transitions and
multipoles would appear?
