Abstract
IONIUM decays with the emission of α-particles leaving the final nucleus 22688Ra at various levels of excitation known1 to lie at 70 keV., 200 keV. and 270 keV. above its ground-state. Conversion electrons emitted from radium nuclei have been identified as due, for the most part, to L-conversion of 70-keV. γ-ray2.
