Internal conversion Wiki
everipedia.org › Internal_conversionInternal conversion is a radioactive decay process wherein an excited nucleus interacts electromagnetically with one of the orbital electrons of the atom. This causes the electron to be emitted (ejected) from the atom. Thus, in an internal conversion process, a high-energy electron is emitted from the radioactive atom, but not from the nucleus. For this reason, the high-speed electrons ...

This causes the electron to be emitted (ejected) from the atom. Thus, in an internal conversion process, a high-energy electron is emitted from the radioactive atom, but not from the nucleus.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_conversionThe decay scheme on the left shows that Hg produces a continuous beta spectrum with maximum energy 214 keV, that leads to an excited state of the daughter nucleus Tl. This state decays very quickly (within 2.8×10 s) to the ground state of Tl, emitting a gamma quantum of 279 keV. The figure on the right shows the electron spectrum of Hg, measured by mean…
