Gamma-Rays from Thulium-170

Abstract

IN order to verify that the gamma-rays from thulium-170 reported1, in addition to the well-established transition of 83 keV., were not, in fact, Bremsstrahlung2, the secondary electron spectrum from a source of 5–10-millicuries strength has been examined in the short-lens beta-ray spectrometer using high transmission (low resolving power).
