Anomalous Distribution of Nuclear Disintegration in Photographic Emulsions Exposed to Cosmic Rays : Double Stars

Anomalous Distribution of Nuclear Disintegration in Photographic Emulsions Exposed to Cosmic Rays : Double Stars

IN making systematic exploration of 640 cm.2 of IIford plates of 100 µ thickness exposed vertically to cosmic rays for three to six weeks at a height of 3,600 m., we have observed 2,250 nuclear disintegrations and have noticed an anomaly in their distribution.
