I. CURIE, F. Joliot and P. Preiswerk1 observed that after bombarding silicon or phosphorus by neutrons, the artificially produced radioactive nuclei emitted: (1) negative electrons as previously observed by Fermi2; (2) γ-rays of high energy (∑ 5 × 106 e.v.); (3) positrons (which they tentatively suggest to be due to the creation of ‘pairs’ by the γ-rays, an explanation which does not seem very probable as they state that the positrons have an upper energy limit of ∼ 1 × 106 e.v. only); and (4…

Spontaneous Emission of Neutrons from Radioactive Isotopes
IN confirming the pioneer work of Fermi1 on radio-activity induced by neutron bombardment, Curie, Joliot and Preiswerk2 have shown that the radio active isotopes produced when phosphorus and…

Radioactivity Induced by Neutron Bombardment
EXPERIMENTS have been carried out to ascertain whether neutron bombardment can produce an induced radioactivity, giving rise to unstable products which disintegrate with emission of β-particles.…
Possible Production of Elements of Atomic Number Higher than 92
