Properties of spurious scattering in nuclear emulsion were investigated using protons of 19.8 and 24 Bev/c from the external beam of the CERN Proton Synchrotron. The variation of the spurious scattering signal with cell lengths of 2 to 12 millimeters and dip angles of 0 to 3 degrees is investigated, and a functional relation describing the observed variation is presented. A simple method for measuring momenta is presented that takes advantage of the observation that this functional relation for the spurious scattering fits the results of other investigators working with a similar range of momenta. Evidence is presented that indicates that the spurious scattering is enhanced when using an oil immersion lens, presumably due to the absorption of oil by the emulsion. (auth)
