Abstract
IN a previous note1, it was shown that most of the energy spectrum of protons ejected in nuclear disintegration stars produced in photographic emulsion by cosmic radiation could be explained in a general way by a simple evaporation- process. We have now made detailed measurements on the angular distributions of the emitted particles, and compared them with what one would expect from the evaporation model of the nucleus.
