DECAY OF TELLURIUM-132

The decay of Te/sup 132/ produced by fission of uranium has been investigated by using a scintillation spectrometer. In addition to the previously reported 0.23-Mev gamma ray and the iodine K x ray, a 0.053-Mev gamma ray has been observed. Coincidence measurements permitted the determination of K- shell conversion coefficients for the two transitions. Probable decay schemes compatible with the observations are discussed. (auth)
