Extract

The β-ray type of disintegration is accompanied in general by two forms of radiation, the β-rays and the γ-rays. Radium E is noteworthy in that it gives a large amount of γ-radiation that it can only be detected by careful measurements. Yet, since it differs in this way from β-ray elements such as radium B and radium C, it is important for theoretical discussion that we should obtain as much knowledge as possible about this small amount of γ-radiation.
