COSMIC RAYS AND NEW “SEMI-HEAVY” PARTICLES

The aim of the present article is to characterize the current state of the question of the nature of cosmic rays and, chiefly, the change in the point of view on cosmic rays that occurred in the past year under the influence of the new theory of showers, advanced on the basis of all the remarkable e…

TRANSFORMATIONS IN ALLOYS[^1]

The theories considered in the first part dealt primarily with two main attributes of ordering transformations: the state of order itself and energetic quantities. We shall now consider measurements of the transformation energy, as well as determinations of heat capacities at various temperatures, a…

Recent Research in the Field of Cosmic Rays

Cosmic rays and related phenomena constitute one of those areas of physics that has attracted particularly strong attention from researchers over the past 10–15 years. The past year has been marked by a number of significant advances, to which this article is devoted in a brief review.

DIELECTRIC PROPERTIES OF PURE LIQUIDS*

Understanding the dielectric properties of gases (at sufficiently low pressures) presents no substantial difficulty if one takes into account that molecules are not only capable of being polarized but can also be oriented owing to the presence of a permanent electric dipole. An analogous situation a…
