The Distribution of the Positive-Negative Ratio for Mesons (open access)

The Distribution of the Positive-Negative Ratio for Mesons

Positive and negative mesons produced in a common target in the cyclotron are received in two photographic plates. In the magnetic field of the cyclotron, negatives are deflected to one plate, positives to the other. The mesons must pass through an absorber before entering the plates in order to be observable.

Theoretical Consideration of the Geometrical Structure of the Uranium Halides

Abstract: The geometrical structure of the uranium halides has been studied from a theoretical viewpoint. This theoretical consideration tends to indicate that the pentavalent uranium halides are geometrically but not energetically capable of existence except as double halide compounds of hexavalent and tetravalent uranium.

The Chlorination of TO₃

Abstract: The applicability of specific mixtures and organic chlorocarbons in general toward the chlorination of TO₃ has been tested by means of reactions is sealed glass tubes. The results show that thionyl chloride mixed with tetrachloroethylene or a bromothane of the tyoe CHBrC12 will produce TCI4 directly. This same result is produced by CBr2C12 alone.
