Possible models of V·particles, mainly concerned with VO (V10)·particles, are investigated in a systematic way on the basis of their characteristic features, one being experimental evidences and the other theoretical requirements such as the stability of nuclei and the charge independence. The latters play a role for ruling out a proposed decay mode, VO_p + n+ Y, and the single production of hot VO·particles, respectively. Since ·the pair production of VO-particles seems unfavourable according…

On the Theory of Hyperons and Heavy Mesons

During the past few years there haa accumulated so much experimental information on hyperons and heavy mesons that some of the many puzzling questions on these strange particles arebeing resolved.…

Constructing Strangeness: Exploratory Modeling and Concept Formation

Abstract The notion of exploratory modeling constitutes a powerful heuristic tool for historical-epistemological analysis and especially for studying concept formation. I will show this by means of a…

Abstract The momentum distributions in the centre of mass system for the charged secondary from the two reactions, V ± → µ ±+π 0+v and V ±→ µ ±+v+v, have been calculated. The second of the above…

CXXVII. On the decay of charged V-particles

Abstract Among 18 000 photographs taken during an experiment with a large cloud chamber at the Jungfraujoch (3 580 m) 13 examples of the decay of charged V-particles have been observed. A summary of…

CIV. Masses and modes of decay of heavy mesons.—Part I. κ-particles

Summary Observations by the photographic method are described which establish the existence of heavy charged mesons, of mass about 1200me , which decay with the emission of a single charged particle.…

Summary The masses of charged mesons, produced among the ‘shower’ particles in the nuclear interactions of protons of great energy have been determined by scattering and grain-density measurements.…

Slow heavy mesons from cosmic ray stars

Two stars have been observed, iu plates exposed at a maximum altitude of about 90000 feet, showing the ejection of a slow heavy meson which, after being brought to rest in the emulsion, disintegrates…

Some Properties of Penetrating Cosmic-Ray Showers and Star Phenomena seen in the Cloud Chamber

Cloud-chamber photographs of cosmic-ray showers containing penetrating particles have been obtained at sea level. The spectrum of the penetrating particles has been measured and a study made of the…

LVI. The properties of charged V-particles

Abstract Twenty-one examples of the decay of charged V-particles have been found among 25 000 counter-controlled cloud-chamber photographs obtained on the Pic-du-Midi (2 867 m). These events have…
