Atomic Electron Correlation in Nuclear Electron Capture

The effect of electron-electron Coulomb correlation on orbital-electron capture by the nucleus has been treated by the multiconfigurational Hartree-Fock approach. The theoretical Be-7 L /K capture ratio is found to be 0.086, and the Ar-37 M/L ratio, 0.102. Both ratios are smaller than the independen...

Zusammenfassung:The effect of electron-electron Coulomb correlation on orbital-electron capture by the nucleus has been treated by the multiconfigurational Hartree-Fock approach. The theoretical Be-7 L /K capture ratio is found to be 0.086, and the Ar-37 M/L ratio, 0.102. Both ratios are smaller than the independent-particle predictions. Measurements exist for the Ar M/L ratio, and agreement between theory and experiment is excellent.
