Abstract
The radioactivity of mercury has been investigated in a new way which makes use of the integrating properties of a proportional counter with an internal source. These allow us to show that the β spectrum is of allowed shape from 20 KeV. to the end point which was found to be 210 KeV.±5 KeV. The energy and internal conversion coefficients of the γ ray which follows the β-emission have been evaluated. Also the half life has been determined as 45·9±0·5 days. A discussion of the decay scheme and further possible use of the technique including its extension to scintillation counters concludes the paper.Keywords
