On the Spin of Radioactive Elements
OU1935-B11 (14 pages) Date: September 15, 1934
Radioactive elements release alpha particles, electrons and gamma rays (photons). By experimentally measuring the energy spectrums of these released particles and the like, the spin of the original radioactive nucleus can be determined. The paper elucidated on this topic, with a mention of Gamov et al.’s discussion.
