Activated Surface

Experiments have been performed to measure the scattering of alpha particles by surfaces on which a source of radioactive material was deposited and on surfaces in the neighbourhood of the source. It was hoped that, where a very narrow but not necessarily homogeneous beam of alpha particles was required, the effective strength of a source could be increased by including particles which are scattered out of the activated surface at glancing angles. The effect was found to be too small to be of any great practical importance.Experiments were also performed on the scattering of alpha particles by the walls of a long glass tube down which a beam of particles was projected. This is essentially a repetition of some experiments by Lawson and Hess in 1918, whose results indicated that the particles in being scattered by the walls of the tube lost definite amounts of energy. The present experiments indicate that they can lose any fraction of their total energy.The experiments indicate that the most probable angle of scattering in such experiments is large, and that the average particle spends at least half and probably a greater fraction of its range in the scattering material.
