Abstract
USING neutron sources containing up to 250 mil-licuries of radon mixed with beryllium, we have been able to confirm many of the results reported by Fermi and his collaborators1. We have also obtained the following additional results: Fluorine appears to give an effect of about 40 sec. period, which has an initial intensity of about 5 per cent of that of the shorter period already reported by Fermi.
