Abstract
IN a report by Duane (Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. 10, 378, 1924) mention is made of the intensity of scattered radiation inside a closed box containing an X-ray tube. He states that “the amount of this box radiation that passes out through the slits into the spectrometer appears to be sufficient to dominate more or less completely the spectrum obtained”. He then cites a number of instances where remarkably intense scattered radiation has been observed.
