THE SCATTERING OF FAST CHARGED PARTICLES. V. MULTIPLE SCATTERING OF FAST ELECTRONS AND POSITRONS IN XENON

Journal Article · · Proc. Phys. Soc. (London)
The multiple scatterig of fast electrons and positrons within the energy range of 7 in 17 Mev In xenon was measured using a cloud chamber. A study was made of the errors involved and also the use of the technique of overlapping Intervals. At the higher energies the multiple scattering agrees, within the experimental errors, with the theoretical values predicted by Moliere but at energies of less than 10 Mev the experimental values tend to be lower. The measured scatering for the mean energy values agree with thin predicted values of Moliere but are higher than the values given by the theory of Williams. There is no significant difference between the multiple scattering of electrons and positrons. (auth)
