Extract

In the course of an investigation of the β-ray spectrum of Ra (B + C) by the ionisation method, Chadwick(1) concluded that the line spectrum is superimposed on a strong continuous background. The ionisation method, however, is not one which admits of high resolving power, and doubts have been entertained whether the continuous spectrum has in fact any real existence. In this connection the case of Ra E is one of special importance, since no line spectrum from this body has been detected by the more sensitive photographic method. Experiments have therefore been undertaken with the object of determining the distribution with velocity of the numbers of particles in the β-ray spectrum of Ra E.
