Abstract
In the present work, the gamma-ray emission probabilities per decay of K-42 transitions have been measured. The activity measurement was carried out i n a 4 pi (PC)beta-gamma coincidence system. The gamma-ray measurements were performed in a HPGe system. All the uncertainties involved were treated ri gorously, by means of covariance analysis. The value of the 1524 keV gamma- ray intensity per decay of 42K Obtained in the present work was (0.1813 +/- 0.0014). This result is compared to the data from other authors.
