Descripción
We analyze the bremsstrahlung emission obtained by the α -γ
coincidence measurements to investigate on the α -decay dynamics
of the 214 Po nucleus. We performed the experiment using a
radioactive 226 Ra source leading, by α -decays, to the
214 Po nucleus, and the apparatus with the Si detector for
α -particles, the NaI(Tl) detector able to collect photons with
energies up to about 1 MeV. We compare the experimental data with the
quantum-mechanical calculations and find a good agreement between theory
and experiment for photon energies up to 765 keV. In the experimental
data of the bremsstrahlung spectrum one can see the presence of slight
oscillations.
