Description

The pionic carbon/oxygen capture ratio for the blood and muscle tissue of a pig was measured using an intrinsic Ge detector in order to investigate possible explanations for an enhanced lesion observed in the autopsy of pion-irradiated patient. Pure iron was also irradiated in order to determine the energies and intensities of pionic x-rays from iron. It was expected that some of them originated from haemoglobin and could be observed in the spectrum for a blood sample. TE plastic (Shonka A-150) and Lucite were also investigated for comparison with other work. (author)
