Abstract
The K-fluorescence yields of Ag and In have been obtained by measuring the K-Auger electron emission rates following electron capture decays of 109Cd and 113Sn. The K-Auger electrons have been measured by mixing these radionuclides with small amounts of liquid scintillator, thus allowing the K-Auger electrons to be effectively detected with a 100% efficiency while the interfering X-rays escape without detection. The results obtained are 0.826±0.005 and 0.843±0.005 for Ag and In respectively. These uncertainty values are considerably smaller than those hitherto published.
