Abstract
A ONE-DAY meeting of the Physical Society will be held on February 19 at the University of Edinburgh, in the Depatment of Natural Philosophy. The morning session will include three papers on developments in electron focusing : T. H. Braid and H. O. W. Richardson will describe tests of a wide-angle β-particle spectrometer ; R. E. Siday and D. A. Silverston will discuss tests of a prism spectrograph ; and A. N. Barker, Prof. N. Feather and H. O. W. Richardson will describe an emission microscope for photo -electron autoradiography. A paper on the use of proportional counters to investigate β-disintegration will be given by S. C. Curran, and a paper on electrons as nuclear projectiles by B. Touschek. In the afternoon session, subjects to be discussed are : a new approach to the theory of elementary particles, by Prof. M. Born and H. S. Green ; film transport in liquid helium II, by Prof. J. F. Allen ; a new photo-electric amplifier, by R. V. Jones ; and long-range molecular forces, by J. Iball.
