Abstract
We have examined the suggestion that an MO transition occurs between t he 2819.6-keV 0- level of Yb-173 and the 0+ ground state by internal-c onversion electron emission. Gamma rays, internal-conversion electrons , and internal e+e- pairs were detected from the beta+ and electron ca pture decay of two-day Lu-170 (0+). At an upper limit of 2 X 10(-8) el ectron per Lu-170 decay, no evidence was obtained for MO decay of the 2819.6-keV level of Yb-170 by single-electron emission.
