Abstract
THIS subject has, in recent years, become of interest partly (a) in cosmic ray experiments, where information can be gained on the specific ionization of cosmic ray particles (Danforth and Ramsey1), or on shower sizes (Ramsey and Danforth2), and (b) in various applications of the coincidence–counting technique to nuclear physical problems, for example the determination of nuclear level schemes. The latter problem has been admirably discussed by Dunworth3, following work by Feather and Dunworth4.
