Abstract
SINCE the publication of our paper1 on the disintegration of elements by fast protons, we have examined some of the light elements more carefully, using much thinner mica windows than we had previously employed on the high voltage tube. With the present arrangement, we can count particles which have passed through only 6 mm. air equivalent of absorber on their way from the target to the ionisation chamber.
