THE ENERGY LOSS OF SINGLY CHARGED HEAVY RELATIVISTIC PARTICLES IN AN ORGANIC MATERIAL

· Proc. Phys. Soc. (London)
An experiment is described in which a large area plastic scintillation counter is used to measure the energy loss of relativistic mu -mesons. The results, which are not dependent on the method used to fit the data to the Landau distribution, show that the increase in the most probable energy loss is less than 1% for mesons of energies between 500 and at least 10,000 Mev. This conclusion is consistent with the Sternheimer density correction to the ionization loss. (auth)
