Abstract

A liquid argon ionization chamber has been used to compare the shape of the beta-ray spectrum of

K^{40}

with those of

Y^{91}

and

P^{32}

. The

K^{40}

spectrum is found to be consistent with the shape factor

D_{2} = p^{6} + 7 p^{4} q^{2} + 7 p^{2} q^{4} + q^{6},

in agreement with recent measurements.
