Description
This paper presents the spectrum of the bremsstrahlung emission
accompanying the α-decay of 226Ra
(Eα=4.8 MeV) by measuring the α-γ
coincidences. We analyze the spectrum by using the model presented in
our previous study on the α-decay of 214Po
(Eα=7.7 MeV). We compare the experimental data with the
quantum mechanical calculation and find a good agreement between theory
and experiment. We analyze the bremsstrahlung emission contributions
from the tunneling and external regions of the nucleus barrier into the
total spectrum, and find destructive interference between these
contributions.
