| Abstract: | Summary The effect on the deposition of thoron and radon decay products of attachment to condensation nuclei is described. Methods are suggested of using these decay products as markers for condensation nuclei and comparison is made between radioactive and non radioactive determinations of the diffusion coefficients of marked nuclei. The spontaneous production of condensation nuclei by irradiation of clean air by alpha and beta particles and by X-rays is described. |
