Originally published in 1952 as part of the Cambridge Monographs on Physics series, this book discusses the contemporary state of research into the Auger Effect and the internal conversion of gamma radiation. Burhop also addresses internal pair production and radiationless transitions in molecular spectra, and photographic images of Auger electrons in action. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the history of science and the study of radiation.
