Abstract

The decay of As73 to Ge73 has been investigated with scintillation counters. The K capture is followed by a 53.9-kev gamma ray which in turn is followed by a 13.5-kev transition to the ground state. The total conversion coefficient of the 53.9-kev gamma is 4.7 and the lifetime is between 900 microseconds and 10 seconds. The half-life of the 13.5-kev transition is 4.6 microseconds. The available evidence points to the 53.9-kev transition being M2 and the 13.5-kev transition E2 with a possible small admixture of M1. Spin and parity assignments are discussed.
