Abstract
The beta decay of and has been investigated with a magnetic lens spectrometer. The positron spectrum of consists of one component of maximum energy 1.748±0.006 Mev. The ground-state transition, comparative half-life sec, has the allowed shape down to 570 kev. Beta-ray branching to the first excited state of at 874 kev, if present, has a relative intensity of less than one percent, corresponding to a comparative half-life sec. The positron spectrum of consists of one component of maximum energy 968±8 kev. The ground-state transition, comparative half-life seconds, has the allowed shape down to 255 kev.
