Abstract
The rare double gamma decay of the first excited state in and has been measured with a segmented NaI detector system, which allows suppression of the perturbing background due to positron annihilation in flight. In both cases the directional correlation of the two photons is found to be asymmetric around 90°, which is explained by an interference of and transitions. The deduced quenching factors agree with those from (,) and (,) measurements.
