The β-ray type of disintegration is accompanied in general by two forms of radiation, the β-rays and the γ-rays. Radium E is noteworthy in that it gives a large amount of γ-radiation that it can only be detected by careful measurements. Yet, since it differs in this way from β-ray elements such as radium B and radium C, it is important for theoretical discussion that we should obtain as much knowledge as possible about this small amount of γ-radiation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
