Abstract
IN two previous notes1 some results have been described which were obtained with a beam of fast (-rays (1500 < E < 3000 ekv.) in a nitrogen-filled expansion chamber. It is clear from the photographs that these -rays are considerably scattered in the gas. By selection of those cases where there is a perceptible change in the direction of path (whenever the deflection exceeds 20°) and by measurement of the angle of deflection with a Pulfrich stereo-comparator, Curve I in Fig. 1 was obtained for the single scattering in a gas at angles greater than 10°–20°.
