Abstract
The preparation of a silver bromide emulsion in the form of baseless sheets and their use in thick homogeneous stacks are described. In these sheets, a suitable development brings out minimum ionization tracks with a grain diameter 0.1 to 0.2 μ, and a linear grain density of 15 per 100 μ. The sequence of observations which led to the positive identification of minimum tracks is discussed. Short recoils and delta rays are visible, and excellent discrimination is available at all ionizing powers. The influence of grain size on fog is analyzed.Several cosmic ray phenomena containing minimum tracks are presented: single tracks, hard showers, πμe events, and an electron pair. Distortion is very small, and it is shown that the small grain size renders feasible better scattering measurements on higher energy particles. With this emulsion, nearly every possible measurement should become feasible with greater accuracy.
