Abstract
RECENTLY a powerful method for the determination of α-ray half-lives has been described1,2,3. The method consists essentially in counting the α-ray tracks produced in a photographic emulsion by the decaying nuclei. The nuclei are introduced into the plate by immersion into a solution of the element under investigation. Ilford C2 Nuclear Research plates are suitable.
