This work deals with the measurement of the gamma radiation emitted in the decay
chain of 226Ra. A theoretical study was carried out to give an approximation of the probabilities
and polartity of the transitions. An inside on gamma interactions with matter helped to understand
the observed spectrum. The  nal measurement, done with a scintillator, was analized and compared
with previous studies on this matter. The discrepancies observed were justi ed by the low resolution of the used detector.
