(Dr. George informs me this agreement is fortuitous, due to bursts also being produced by stars in the ion chamber walls, cascades due to protons, π-mesons produced by the µ;-mesons in nuclear collisions, etc.; however, this calculation still serves to rule out spin 1, as spin 1 mesons would give many times the number of bursts observed.)
