Abstract

The

α

spectra emitted during

K

and

L

ionization following

α

decay of

{}^{210}{Po}

are investigated in a coincidence experiment with x rays. We present the first observation of

α

continuous spectra emitted by radioactive samples. The probabilities of this phenomenon and the shape of the

α

spectra are discussed in the scope of an

α

collision with zero impact parameter.
