Extract

Many measurements have been made of the complete absorption curves for β-rays in various substances, and it has been found that, for homogeneous β-rays, the curve is not exponential, and, in particular, when aluminium is the absorber, the curve is linear over a considerable portion of its range (e.g. Schonland, etc.).
