Abstract

We have succeeded in observing nuclear excitation by electron transition (NEET) in ${}^{197}\mathrm{Au}$ by a new method. Monochromatic x-rays of synchrotron radiation were used to ionize the $K$ shell of gold atoms in a target foil. The internal-conversion electrons emitted from excited nuclei were...
