Abstract

The multiple scattering of electrons from B12 has been studied by means of G-M coincidence counters in two scatterers of equal NTZ2 where N is number of atoms per cc of scatterer, T and Z are the thickness and atomic number of scatterer. The scatterers were of Pb and C, respectively, and had a theoretical scattering power which differed by 20 percent. Comparison of the arithmetic mean angles of scattering showed that their ratio was nearly the same as given by the Williams theory.
