Atomic ionization at annihilation of positrons emitted at β+-decay

Abstract

Atomic ionization at annihilation of positron with another electron of daughter's atom at +-decay is studied. Processes of the different atomic shells ionization at annihilation of positron, emitted at +-decay, with K-electron of daughter's atom are considered. The relative contribution of probabilities of these processes in case of electron emission from different ns-shells (n = 1, 2, 3, 4) is found. It is shown that the most probable process is related to emission of other K-electron.
