The isomeric 2+ state of 60co at 58.6 kev decays to the 5+ ground state. internal conversion competes with gamma emission: the observed internal conversion coefficients are ak =41, qu =7 and am =1. 58.603 m3+(e4) 99.76 2 58.6 10.467 min 5 + 0.0 a. 5.2714 y 4c033 compute the expected half-life of the 27 state if the transition multipolarity is assumed to be m3, and compare with the observed half-life of 10.5 min. if the transition also contained a small component of e4 radiation, how would your estimate for the half- life be affected? b.
