Abstract
The absorption limits for the primary β-particles of mesothorium 2 and uranium X2 have been determined using modified tube counters of various types. Results in good agreement with previous single determinations with gold-leaf electroscopes, and at variance with deductions from expansion chamber observations, show the need for caution in fixing limiting energies in β disintegrations from measurements on a relatively small number of tracks.Keywords
