α-Tracks in Presence of Strong γ-Radiation

Nature volume 135, page 789 (1935)Cite this article

Abstract

IN investigations of nuclear transformations, it is sometimes desirable to be able to observe α-particles (or protons) in the presence of strong γ-radiation. This has already been successfully accomplished by means of an ionisation chamber connected up to a valve-amplifier and oscillograph (as in the investigations of Chadwick and Goldhaber1 on the photo-disintegration of heavy hydrogen).
