Abstract
The correlated probabilities of lateral and angular displacements of cloud-chamber tracks, resulting from multiple small-angle scattering, have been calculated for several cases of interest. The results are applicable to curvatures and other measurements taken in the presence of a magnetic field. The usual Gaussian-type scattering law has been used in the form of the fundamental correlated distribution function derived by Fermi. One direct application of this function is to the effect of scattering on angle measurements in nuclear "stars."Keywords
