COMPARISON OF ALPHA-PARTICLE ENERGIES FROM VARIOUS Po$sup 210$ SOURCES

;
A comparison of the energies of alpha particles from six different Po/ sup 210/ sources was made with the same broad-range spectrograph used for a recent comparison of the Po/sup 210/ alpha-particle energy with the Li/sup 7/ (p,n)Be/sup 7/ threshold energy. The sources were prepared by different techniques and some were on flat backings whereas others were on cyiindrical backings. It is concluded that the discrepancies in the most recent measurements of the alpha energy do not arise from source preparation techniques but the lower values of the older measurements are perhaps caused by source aging.
