A new /EC branch of
% from the
isomer of 124Cs was identified in a measurement of the decay of 124Cs using the
spectrometer at TRIUMF. Combinations of
-
,
-
, and
-
coincidence data were used to further investigate the isomeric decay. Six new transitions were observed and their branching ratios were measured.
