The ionization due to beta radiation from the atmosphere

Henry A. Miranda Jr.

Abstract

Measurements of the ionization due to beta radiation from the air, employing two thin-walled ionization chambers in a differential arrangement, are described. Corrections for geometry, absorption of beta and gamma radiation in the shield, formation of secondary betas in the shield, and back-scattering of betas within the chamber are discussed.
