Abstract
IN view of the discovery of induced radioactivity by F. Joliot1, I have investigated several other elements with an apparatus specially designed for the study of activities with a very short lifetime. The substance to be investigated was attached to the end of a swinging arm, which made it possible to shift the substance within half a second from the ray source, consisting of about 1 millicurie of thorium B + C, to a Geiger-Müller counter with a window of 0.05 mm. copper foil.
