Summary
The slowing down of extremely low energy negatively charged mesons has been discussed and range-energy curves have been obtained. Based on these curves, an evaluation has been made of the relative capture rates of negative mesons in light and heavy nuclei of photographic emulsions. These rates appear to be in very good agreement with experimental observations on the capture of negative μ-mesons in nuclear emulsions.
Riassunto
Discuto il rallentamento di mesoni con carica negativa di energia estremamente bassa e ottengo le curve range-energia. Sulla base di queste curve, valuto le proporzioni relative di cattura dei mesoni negativi nei nuclei pesanti e leggeri delle emulsioni fotografiche. Risulta che queste proporzioni si accordano molto bene con le osservazioni sperimentali della cattura di mesoni μ negativi nelle emulsioni nucleari.
