Abstract
Among 18 000 photographs taken during an experiment with a large cloud chamber at the Jungfraujoch (3 580 m) 13 examples of the decay of charged V-particles have been observed. A summary of the measurements of the 13 particles is given. Two of them are produced in nuclear interactions of remarkably low energy. The average time that the particles would have taken to cross the chamber, if they had not decayed in flight, is ∼10-9 sec, and the distribution of the decay events does not differ significantly from that which would be expected for particles with a mean life greater than 10-9 sec.Keywords
