Time Dependence of the Beam in the 86-Inch Cyclotron

In the preliminary stages of getting up a time-of-flight system for measuring neutron spectra from proton reactions, a study of the time dependence of the beam in the 86Inch Cyclotron was made. This study revealed the expected bunching of the protons to produce a short burst of beam on each cycle of the 13.4 Mc/s accelerating voltage. In addition to the 13.4 Mc/s structure, however, there was a 360 c/sec modulation of the beam pulses and a complicated pattern built upon that.

II. K+ Charge Exchange - Production Of Ko Mesone By Charge Exchange Of K+ In Propane

In another paper there was reported an attempt to observe the charge-exchange process in a counter-triggered multiplate cloud chamber at the Bevatron but the interpretation was ambiguous. Shortly after the close of that experiment the 30-in. propane bubble chamber at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory was completed and able to be used for a combined engineering test and experiment. The existence of Reaction (1) has been confirmed in this experiment, and an approximate cross-section value for carbon is calculated.

1. K+ Charge Exchange - Search For K+ Charge Exchange

An experiment was designed utilizing a charge-exchange reaction to study the decay and interactions of the neutral K mesons produced. The experiment produced no events that could be interpreted as either the decay or interaction of neutral K mesons. The nature of the experiment and the possible explanations of this unexpected result are presented in this paper.
