(Japan) The discharge tube used is a hot-cathode diffusion-type tube filled with mercury vapour at pressures of the order of 1O-J torr. The tube produces a quiescent uniform plasma and contains a disc probe and a cylindrical probe which are used for the measurement of the ion resonance and for the measurement of the electron density as a Langmuir probe.

Eleetroreflectance by adsorption of gas on zinc oxide. (Germany) The formation of space charge layers by adsorbed oxygen or atomic hydrogen changes the reflectance of zinc oxide crystals. This phenomena can be explained by the theory of “electronreflectance”. The experimental vacuum system (lo-‘-- lo-* torr) is described, and the results obtained are discussed.

Low pressure spark chamber-high resolution spectrometer for 1 GeV protons. (Holland) A low pressure magnetic spectrometer for 1 GeV protons utilizing wire spark chambers operated at 0.1 atm is described.

(Holland) Wide gap spark chambers 10 x 10 x 15 cm3, made entirely of glass with epoxy, were used, being pumped to 3 x IO-” torr and filled with (1) neon, (2) neon plus saturated ethanol vapour, and (3) neon plus saturated water vapour. Influence of ethanol and water vapour on dispersion and width of the tracks was studied for long time delays of high voltage pulses.

(Holland) A mass spectrometer is described which, used on-line with the extracted beam of an accelerator, allows the measurement of isotopic ratios of even the very short lived nuclides. The apparatus described, includes vacuum system, ion detection and counting equipment. It is a mobile type of installation and can be set in a few hours in the beam of an accelerator. The preparation of the target is the most delicate part of the technique, and examples are given of applications to various problems. The targets, heated to a temperature of about 15oo”C, are bombarded by a high energy proton beam and consists of a stack of metal and graphite slabs so that energetic recoils, originating

(USA) Oxidized Permalloy thin fdms exhibit uniaxial anisotropy at room temperatures, but at low temperatures develop a mixture of uniaxial and unidirectional anisotropies.

(USA) The electron beams, focused by a space charge of 10 mm diameter at low voltage, in the absence of a magnetic field, undergo a rapid decrease in current. This decrease is a function of the axial distance from the gun. A positive oscillation source is formed and the electrons of the beam undergo a dispersion of the speed.
