Abstract
The decay of He 6 was measured, with a plastic scintillation counter, over a period of 10 half-lives. The data were obtained by photographing two scalers, one of which registered the β counts while the other, operating on a 60 Hz signal, served as the clock. After suitable corrections for background, dead-time of the counting system, and pulse height dependence on counting rate, 34 separate runs were combined. A least squares fit to the data gives a value of T 1 2 = (0.797 ±0.003) sec .
