Abstract: (APS)

The present paper considers the possibility that screening by the atomic electrons has an appreciable effect on the energy distribution of β-particles emitted by heavy nuclei. A general formula is derived from which it is possible to conclude that the effect of screening is negligible. This result is also derived by another method. Finally, an explicit calculation based on the model of a charged sphere is shown to lead to the same conclusion.
