I wonder why at high Z, isomeric transitions with small transition energies may be 100% converted.

Isomeric transitions at high Z refer to the phenomenon of atomic nuclei undergoing a change in energy state while remaining in the same isomeric state. This occurs in atoms with high atomic numbers (Z), typically above 70.
Isomeric transitions at high Z occur through the emission of gamma rays, which are high-energy photons. These gamma rays are emitted when the nucleus transitions from an excited state to a lower energy state.
Isomeric transitions at high Z are important for understanding the structure and behavior of heavy nuclei. They can also be used in nuclear medicine for diagnostic imaging and cancer treatment.
Isomeric transitions at high Z can be studied through various experimental techniques, such as gamma-ray spectroscopy and nuclear reaction analysis. The data collected from these experiments can provide insights into the properties of the nuclei and the nature of the transitions.
Isomeric transitions at high Z can be stable, but they can also decay into lower energy states over time. The stability of these transitions depends on the specific properties of the nucleus, such as its atomic number and nuclear structure.
