Abstract : The authors give the energy spectra obtained for 195 Posi- tive and 328 ne6ative pions, generated in the R-5 emulsion (emulsions 330 and 450 mecrons thic1c, 10 cm in diameter), exposEd to cosmic rays in the stratosphere.

The shift in the position of the maximum can be explained by the fact that the /~ 0 particle may turn out to be a lower energy level 'than the least bound neutron, and also by the slo- wing down of the negative pion in the Coulomb field of the aucleus.

Orig Pub Zh. eksperim. i teor. fiziki, 1-956, 30, No 6, 1166-1167- Abstract Seven cases were observed of the absorption of -5--mesons in microcrystals of beryllium and 12 cases of absorption in microcrystals of carbon, introduced into the photogra- phic emulsion. The characteristic feature of the above 6% stars is the absence of tritons with energies grea- ter than 10 Mev, and the fact that the mean energy of the emitted protons does not exceed 10 Nev. In the author's opinion, the above data are evidence that in the primary act a greater portion of the rest energy of the It -meson is received by 1 -- 2 neutrons vhich do not ex- perience! secondary collisions in such light nuclei, as Card 1/1 beryllium and carbon. v " M, I (11- 1-1 T-: I- , !,-- ~ ~ , , ~ 9.fl~, 44061 P. --~; .. , j~ -~ ~, . :. 11 ~, ~~ " INSTRUMENTATION: NUCLEAR PHOTODULSIONS "International Conference on Photoemulsion Prccedures, Dubna) 1957", by A.A.

Two variants of the calculations were carried out: In the first variant only the relations of Bethe (Bete) and Heitler (Gaytler) for the elementary processes were used, and in the second variant the formulae of A.B.MiUdal (Ref 1) were used in order to take into account the influence exercised by the medium upon the radiation processes of the high enerU- electrons. The conditions of the cascade calculations are discussed in short. The cross sections of the elementary processes were calculated for the ruclear emulsions Ilford (Illford) G-5.

For this purpose, a study was Ujade of isolation electron,,.photon cascades and the photon component of high energy nuclear interactions in emulsion stacks exposed to radiation in the stratosphere. In order to exclude spurious cases of direct pair Droduction, which constitute the m2in difficulty in exprrimental measurement of the cross-section of such pairs, the calculation wpe carried out by the Monte Carlo method. The calculation was made for three values of primary electron energy: lo; 100 and 1,000 Bev, taking into consideration two possible variants of the Premstrablung spectrum: Bethe-Heitler and Migdal Variants (Launder-Pameranchik and Ter-Mikaelyan effects). A method Bor determiping the energy of untra-relativistic electrons from the lateral distribution of the apexes of electron-positron pairs is suggested. During the expreimental measurement of very high electron energies, certain possible sources of underestimation were eliminated. The cross section of direct pair production by high energy electrons was found to be in agreement with Bhabhs's calculation within the limits of experimental error. report presented at the International Cosmic Ray Conference, Moscow 6-11 July 1959 VARFOLOS-PET, A.

Chuyeva Fifteen electron-photon cascades with energies from loll to lo13 ev, recorded in six emulsion stacks with a total volume of lo 1, have been investigated. The energies of the primary photons evoking the cascades were determined by the energy spectrum of the cascade electrons at a depth of 2.5 -& 3to (to- rad. unit). The grain density and the gap density were measured for the first pairs. In all the pairs with energies 3x1011 ev, a decrease in pTain density at the apex caused by the screening effect was discovered. The following experimental relation of the ionization losses of pair (1) was obtained: where I pe is the specific ionization electron loss At the ionization Dleateau, x is the distance from the apex of the pair in cm, and E, Is the enerP7 of the Dhoton which produced the pair.

The differential energy spectra of pairs and electrons for energies E. = 1011 - 1013 ev. are listed in another table, whereas the integral spectra of pairs are shown in a figure, from which it is evident that in the soft part of the spectrum the number of pairs computed by the Bethe-Heitler formula is more than double the number obtained by Migdal's formula. As the authors did not possess many statistical data (which are required for a complete solution of the fluctuation problem), they confined themselves to the study of cascades at small depths. Denoting by Q,,(E,989t) -the actual number of electrons with energies exceedingF_ at depth t in an electron cascade with energy Eo, and by Q(Eo,& t) - the number of pairs with energy>F formed at a depth 4t, it is Card 2/3 31540 S/62 60/002/000/023/027 Computing cascades with D299YD304 possible to formulate the main result as follows: With given Eogelt it is always possible to choose the coefficient k in such a,way that the cascade distribution with respect to the number (or should follow Poisson's distribution with mean value k, whereby N and N. are the mean values of Q and Q. respectively. With small t and small E, (1 to 10 Mev), the coefficient k does not depend on E0 and on the method of calculation (for the energy range under consi- deration, 1010 - 1013 ev.). The coefficient k was found to be the same for both electrons and pairs, k(ti) = 1.5 and k(t2) = 3v (t, = 1.0 to and t2 = 1.5 to), There are 2 figures, 5 tables and 8 re- ferences: 6 Soviet-bloc and 2 non-Boviet-bloc.
