Extract

The transition 20F → 20Ne is shown to occur with the emission of a β-particle of maximum energy 5·0 × 106e. V., followed by a γ-quantum of energy 2·2 × 106e.V.

The transition from the excitation level of 20Ne at 2·2 × 106 e.V. sometimes occurs in two stages with the emission of two quanta of smaller energy.
