The directional correlation between the 1930-keV 0 group and the 551-keV y in the decay of 5-day 148 Pm has been measured. The anisotropy is found to be only a few percent over the fi energy range from 1050 to 1800 keV. Directional correlations for the following 7-7 cascades in the decay of 41-day 148 Pm have been measured: 414-630 keV, A 2 = -0.07±0.03; 414-551 keV, A*=* ~~0.04db0.03; 288-630 keV, ^2=0.17±0.02; 288-551 keV, J2=0,19±0.02. A note on simple properties of directional correlations involving unobserved y rays which hold in special cases is appended.
The design for a relatively simple noise thermometer for use at low temperatures is presented. This thermometer has been used to measure temperatures as low as the lambda point of liquid helium with a least accuracy of 10%. Some of the properties of thermal noise are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
