Lifetimes of gamma-ray transitions by delayed-coincidence measurements

An apparatus for the measurement of the lifetimes of gamma-ray transitions between nuclear excited states has been designed and constructed. With this apparatus, lifetimes as short as 1.5 x 10⁻¹⁰ seconds may be determined. This lower limit is shown to be inherent in the scintillation detectors avail...
