Abstract
The straggling coefficients for alpha-particles from polonium in nine gases have been determined from the ends of the Bragg ionization curves. The value for air of 0.61 mm checks closely that obtained by other methods. The values for polyatomic gases indicate a value greater than the theoretical.
