Abstract
CHANDRASHEKHAR AIYA1 has recently reported the interesting result that there is a discontinuity in the meson absorption curve as measured by Bhabha's method, when the total lead thickness is about 21 cm. He suggests that this has been brought out because of the special arrangement of counters shown in his communication. Bhabha2 has also mentioned that by his arrangement of splitting lead and placing it between a tray of anti-coincidence counters actuated by showers, it should be possible to study much more accurately the range spectrum of mesons.
