Abstract
CONSIDERING the very minute quantities of matter required for a luminous discharge in gases at low pressures excited by electric oscillations of high frequency, this method would seem to be specially adapted for spectroscopic tests for the products from atomic disintegration, spontaneous as well as artificial. Experiments to this end were started some time ago in the Institut für Radiumforschung of Vienna and have recently been carried further in this Institute. The following phenomena, which appear to be of general interest, were observed.
