Abstract
IN a recent letter in the Physical Review by Sachs1 and one in Nature by Allan and Clavier2, and in several papers during the war years, reference is made to the disintegration of radioaluminium according to the reaction The -particle spectrum has been measured by Cork, Richardson and Kurie3, who find a maximum energy of 3.3 MeV., and by Eklund and Hole4, who find a maximum of 2.98(± 0.18) MeV. The shape of the spectrum suggests a simple transition, -Radiation has been observed and estimated as 1.8 MeV. by Itoh5, and 2.05 (±0.15) MeV. by Eklund and Hole4.
