Abstract

The positron spectrum of Cu⁶¹ and the negatron spectrum of P³² have been studied in a 5.7‐cm radius of curvature magnetic spectrometer using a variety of vacuum chamber sizes and baffle designs. Conclusions are drawn from these data concerning the distortions in continuous beta‐spectra caused by scattering from the finite geometry of the chamber.
