Abstract
PROF. A. F. JOFFE, of the Physico-Technical Institute of the U.S.S.R., is sending out a scientific expedition to Erivan to establish a laboratory for the study of the cosmic rays. It is proposed to set up the station on Mount Alagöz, in Armenia, at a height of 14,400 ft. above sea-level. The object of this station will be to investigate the distribution of the cosmic rays. The leader of the expedition is Dr. D. V. Skobeltzin. It has also been decided to set up on the shore of Lake Gokcha (6,345 ft. above sea-level) an astrophysical observatory where a 16-in. reflector will be erected.
