Abstract

The ratio of [Formula presented]- to [Formula presented]-shell electron captures in light nuclei is particularly sensitive to electron overlap and exchange effects. Calculations of these effects in [Formula presented] disagree by more than [Formula presented]. We report a measurement of the [Formula presented] ratio in [Formula presented], using a cryogenic microcalorimeter which clearly separates [Formula presented]- and [Formula presented]-shell captures. The obtained [Formula presented] ratio of 0.040(6) is less than half that of existing predictions for free [Formula presented]. The discrepancy is likely due to in-medium effects distorting the [Formula presented]-shell electron orbitals.
