Abstract

The absolute Hρ of the K internal conversion electrons from the 2.6-Mev gamma-ray of ThD has been measured using a 180° magnetic spectrometer whose field was calibrated with the proton magnetic resonance. With a proton resonance frequency, νP, of 3.75 megacycles, corresponding to a field of 880 gauss and an electron radius, ρ, of 11.4 cm, the value νPρ=42.528±0.008 megacycle cm was obtained for the line. This is equivalent, through the proton gyromagnetic ratio, to an Hρ=9988.4±2 gauss cm.
