Abstract

A gamma ray of energy 510±2 kev and approximate intensity 7×

10^{- 4}

quanta per decay is emitted in the alpha decay of

{Rn}^{222}

. A gamma ray of energy 542±2 kev and approximate intensity 2.5×

10^{- 4}

quanta per decay is emitted in the alpha decay of

{Rn}^{220}

. The intensities are considered accurate only to within a factor of two.
