11. In internal conversion , however, the process happens within one atom, and without a real intermediate gamma ray. 12. The internal conversion and Auger electrons cause little damage outside the cell which contains the isotope atom. 13. They were able to detect a new isomer, 261m Sg, decaying by internal conversion into the ground state. 14. For increasing atomic number ( Z ) and decreasing gamma-ray energy, internal conversion coefficients are observed to increase. 15. You can see the continuous beta spectrum and also the K-, L-, and M-lines due to internal conversion . 16. Internal conversion is possible whenever gamma decay is possible, except in the case where the atom is fully ionised.17. Usually, a gamma ray is emitted during this transition, but nuclear de-excitation may also take place by internal conversion . 18. Computer programs have been developed ( see the BrIcc Program ) which present internal conversion coefficients quickly and easily. 19. Ratios of K-shell to other L, M, or N shell internal conversion probabilities for various nuclides have been prepared. 20. Therefore, this excited state of has an internal conversion coefficient of \ alpha = 93 / 7 = 13.3.
