SCATTERING OF $mu$-MESONS BY COPPER NUCLEI

An experimental study of the scattering of mu mesons by 1/4 inch copper plates was made in the momentum interval 40 < p BETA < 170 Mev/c by using a multiplate cloud chamber. The mu mesons were identified by their decay produced inside the cloud chamber, and their momenta were individually estimated from the residual ranges after scattering. The triggering system was such that there was no bias in recording large angle events. Altogether 2,606 scatterings were analysed and the resulting scattering distributions were found to agree satisfactorily with the distributions calculated on the basis of a purely electromagnetic interaction between the mu -meson and the nucleus.
