Beta Ray Spectra of Artificially Produced Radioactive Elements

Abstract

WE have investigated a series of ray spectra emitted by radioactive elements obtained by neutron bombardment. The results of the measurements together with those previously published by us in NATURE are given in tho accompanying table. Substances marked with an asterisk were separated by chemical methods analogous to those used by Szilard and Chalmers1. The radioactive manganese was separated from a solution of potassium permanganate, the radioactive P3 2 from carbon disulphide.
