Extract

The absorption of the harder γ-rays from ionium has been studied, the first, of energy 68 ± 1 k.e.V., by the method of bracketing, making use of the K absorption discontinuities of tantalum and tungsten; the second, of energy 190 ± 20k.e.V., by analysis of the absorption curves. The intensity of these γ-rays is estimated to be 1 quantum in 10−3 disintegration for each γ-ray.
