Abstract
Argon ions were accelerated to 1.17x1010 electron volts in the Princeton Particle Accelerator. The synchrotron was tuned by use of a neon beam with a charge-to-mass ratio equal to that of the argon ions. The fully accelerated argon ions were detected by the observation of etched tracks in cellulose nitrate sheets and also by the use of scintillation counters. Predictions of the range and of the characteristics of argon tracks in plastics were confirmed.Keywords
