Description

The α spectra emitted during K and L ionization following α decay of ²¹⁰Po are investigated in a coincidence experiment with x rays. We present the first observation of α continuous spectra emitted by radioactive samples. The probabilities of this phenomenon and the shape of the α spectra are discussed in the scope of an α collision with zero impact parameter.
