Hartsough, W. D.

The first half of this quarter was in part a continuation of the shutdown of the last period and in part a shutdown recovery period. The second half of the quarter was devoted to high-energy physics and chemistry research and to the extension and improvement in techniques of producing secondary-particle beams. The principal physics research efforts were a continuation of the investigations of interactions of negative particles in hydrogen using the 10- inch liquid hydrogen bubble chamber; counter sludies of the pi /sup 0/ modes of heavy-meson and hyperon decay; and a series of twenty-one nuclear emulsion exposures to K-meson beams. During this period twenty emulsion stacks were exposed for thirteen external groups. Thirteen target bombardments were made for the chemistry group. (For preceding period see UCRJ-8021.) (M. H.R.)
