In this paper the results of a line scan of 640 cm of narrow-angle secondary tracks (EPt > 100 GeV) from proton primary jets in emulsions are presented. The proton component was eliminated by disregarding the smallest-angle track unless there was clear evidence that it did not represent a proton. The energy of each pion interaction found was estimated by the following procedure. The various energy estimators were modified to take account of multiple-collision events and then the energy and inelasticity which gave the closest agreement between the energy estimators E(charged), E(median), E(Castagnoli), E(quartile), and Ept were used.The π-meson mean free path was found to be 40 cm (~26 mb) at an average energy of 450 GeV. The average multiplicity of the sample (of pion interactions) was found and shown to be consistent with a log E dependence. The average value of Nh was found and contrasted with previous results at lower energies. The results also show that on the average one pion carries away ~40% of the incident energy.In tracing the above path-length seven examples of direct pair production were identified giving a mean free path of 90 cm.

In the theoretical examination of back-diffusion Varney found a relationship between the extent of the back-diffusion of electrons starting from the cathode and the distance to the cathode. When adequate conditions are ensured the dependence of back-diffusion on distance permits the determination of the mean free path of the electrons. A test device has been developed to measure back-diffusion as a function of the distance to the cathode, for electrons that have an energy distribution corresponding to the specified pressure and the field intensity. From the dependence on distance, mean free paths for helium and argon gases in the range from X/p = 0.5 volt/cm. mm Hg to X/p = 5 volts/cm. mm Hg have been determined. The results are in fair accordance with the mean free paths computed by Barbiere from electron-energy distribution values. Variances have been found, however, with Townsend's and Bailey's data, particularly in the case of argon, where the free path of electrons depends greatly on velocity.
