Description/Abstract:
USING CO-60 GAMMA-RAYS, 33.3 +- 0.8 EV/IP; USING TRITIUM BETA-PARTICLES, 35.2 +- 1.8 EV/IP. THE INCREASE OF W (AIR) WITH INCREASING ENERGY PREDICTED BY WANG AND BETHE WAS NOT FOUND. INCLUDES TABLES OF PREVIOUS WORK BY OTHER AUTHORS. GIVES A SUMMARY INCLUDING A BEST VALUE OF THE ENERGY TO PRODUCE AN ION PAIR IN 43 DIFFERENT GASES, FOR ELECTRONS, ALPHA-PARTICLES AND PROTONS
