Abstract
Two new systems, to measure lifetimes of nuclear levels in the picosec ond range that decay by E0 transitions, have been developed at the UNI SOR on-line isotope separator facility. These systems make use, for th e first time, of fast coincidences involving characteristic X-rays. Th e first of the two systems involves specifically the X-rays originatin g from the internal conversion process, while the second involves X-ra ys resulting from both the internal conversion and electron capture pr ocesses.
