Abstract
The scattering of beta-rays emitted by various pigments was studied. The values of back scattering ate: clay 118, calcium carbonate 106, white lead 372, yellow ochre 99, litharge 394, orpiment 205, iron oxide red 120, cinnabar 387, red lead 403, azurite 158, and malachite 167 counts per minute. This method can therefore be used for the identification of these pigments. -- AATA
