Abstract
DURING the course of some experiments with a beam of fast -rays between 1,500 ekv. and 3,000 ekv. passing through an expansion chamber filled with nitrogen at atmospheric pressure and placed in a magnetic field of about 500 gauss, it was frequently noticed that particles with a normal range in air of the order of 10 m. or more were stopped in a single collision in the gas of the chamber, and lost almost all their energy by passing it on to some non-ionising particle.
