Some Experiments with Fast Electrons and Positrons Produced by a 20-MeV. Betatron

Abstract

A 20-MeV. betatron, mentioned in an earlier note1, has been in operation in these Laboratories since January of this year. A paper dealing with the magnetic measurements and adjustments, circuit techniques, etc., is to be published in the near future; but it is thought that a brief description of some of the experiments now in progress may be of interest.
