Methods of Investigating the Intensities of γ-Rays

Abstract

THERE are two important methods of investigating the intensities of γ-rays, that of Skobeltzyn (Zeit. f. Phys., 43, 354; 1927: 58, 595; 1929) and that of Ellis and Aston (Proc. Roy. Soc., A, 129, 189; 1930). We wish to point out that the results of the measurement of the intensities of the γ-rays of radium B and radium C by these two methods are in as good agreement as can be expected.
