Abstract
The possibility of utilizing the high inherent sensitivity of the FP-54 Pliotron in nuclear disintegration-studies, particularly in connection with the problem presented by the discrepancies in present experimental results on resonance-disintegration of aluminum, has been investigated. The usable sensitivity of the tube is found to be limited only by a residual fluctuation of about ±3×10−5 root-mean square volt. A theoretical consideration shows that this fluctuation is of the order of magnitude to be expected from shot-effects and thermal effects in the grid-circuit.
