The study of interactions and decay of K mesons continued, using the 10- inch liquid hydrogen bubble chamber and emulsions. Four emulsion stacks were exposed for two internal groups and twenty-three stacks were exposed for seventeen groups from outside the Laboratory. Interactions of pi /sup -/ mesons were observed with a 30-inch propane bubble chamber and with emulsions. Ten emulsion stacks were exposed to neutral-particle beams and one stack to the internal 6.2-Bev proton beam. The 30-inch propane bubble chamber and emulsions were used to study the interactions of antiprotons. Eighteen target bombardments in the internal proton beam were made for the chemistry group. Successful tests were completed of two static-electromagnetic velocity spectrometers for the separation of highenergy particles. One was of coaxial construction, the other of parallel-plate construction. (For preceding period see UCRL-6114.) (auth)
