Re: Positrons & Auger Electron Emission

[Frederick Sparber]

The X-ray yield (%)  for a material ~ = 1.216e-7 * Z * Volts (about 1% efficiency for tungsten, Z = 74

at 100 kilovolts, or 0.56% for Pd at 100 kilovolts, Z = 46.

 

In the D+D ---> He4 + 24 Mev reaction in Pd is an Auger Effect "Cascade"

yielding mostly heat?

When positrons annihilate in Iodine-125 Auger electrons come off

instead of the  0.510 Mev gammas.

 

Does this happen in Deuterium-loaded Pd for D+D ---> He4 ?
