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.
