Extract

Actinium emanation was introduced into a cloud chamber for the purpose of making a study of the secondary β-rays. The energies were in agreement with those given by Surugue using the magnetic spectrum method, except that his strong line at 105 kV. was absent. By comparing the numbers of β-rays with the relative intensities of the groups of α-particles, measured by Rosenblum, it was found that the internal conversion coefficients were in general agreement with previous experimental values in the same region of energy. Tracks of Auger electrons associated with the secondary β-rays were found in the photographs. In general, the results from the cloud chamber method agreed with accepted theories and confirmed the results obtained by other methods.
