Synopsis

The shape factors of the partial β-spectra of highest end-point energy in the decay of 72Ga and 140La have been calculated and compared with the only previously reported determination of these quantities. For both isotopes the shape factor is consonant with the view that the Blj matrix element controls the decay. Shape factor analysis alone is insufficient to determine the cause of the predominance of a particular matrix element.
