above 2,200°C the bulb was re-connected to the. v a c u u m system, baked at 400 ° and the r h e n i u m tube operated at 2,200 ° for fifteen minutes. W h e n cool the bulb was filled to 50 cm. pressure with argon, and sealed off. The m o n o c h r o m a t o r slits and the detector o u t p u t were adjusted for full-scale deflection of the o u t p u t meter and the optical s y s t e m was then adjusted so t h a t radiation from one of the free surface areas adjacent to the a p e r t u r e passed to the m o n o c h r o m a t o r . The fraction of full-scale detlection produced by this radiation is the emissivity. The emissivity, determined in the present experiments, at X=0.65 ~t agrees well with p r e v k m s m e a s u r e m e n t s in the range below 2,200°C b u t disagrees slightly at t e m p e r a t u r e s above t h a t value. The a u t h o r concludes the article with a discussion comparing his experimental results with the predictions of the t [agenR u b e n s relation.

The Diffusion of P r o t o n s T h r o u g h the Residual Gas in a S y n c h r o t r o n I. Elastic Scattering France. The accelerated p r o t o n s in a s y n c h r o t o n undergo during their passage in the v a c u u m c h a m b e r m a n y collisions with the molecules of the residual gas. Such collisions m a y cause considerable p r o t o n losses. Th'c multiple elastic scattering sets up oscillations the amplitude of which is calculated from Moliere's law. This amplitude is proportional to the s q u a r e root of the gas pressure in the v a c u u m c h a m b e r and inversely proportional to the square root of the energy of injection aml the energy gain per revolution. Tim theory is applied to various s v n c h r o t r o n s u n d e r construction. W h e n applied to the strongly converging s y n c h r o t r o n s of M.I.T. the t h e o r y shows t h a t the amplitudes produced b y mnltiple scattering are greater t h a n half the vertical height of tim v a c u u m chamber. The p r o t o n losses t h r o u g h single elastic scattering are calculated and are found to be proportional to the gas pressure and inversely proportional to the energy of injection and the energy gain per revolution. 6% of the p r o t o n s are lost t h r o u g h single scattering in the Brookhaven cosmotron and 14°~ would be lost in the M.I.T. synchrotron.
