Extract

With the aid of experimental results on the absorption of homogeneous β-rays in aluminium, a method is developed for calculating the absorption curve of β-rays forming a continuous spectrum. When applied to certain known spectral distributions reasonable agreement is obtained with the experimental absorption curves of these heterogeneous β-rays. Distribution curves with momentum of the β-rays from actinium C″, uranium X2, thorium C and thorium C″ are found, which lead to similar agreement.

The distribution curves with energy and with momentum for eight β-ray bodies and a table of average energies emitted in thése spectra are shown.
