Abstract
The energy E(O) of a beam of particles is determined by measuring the values of P( theta ) for elastic and inelastic scattering of the beam particles through angle theta by a given target particle. P( theta ) is any function P(E), where E = E( theta ) is the energy of the scattered particles. The method compares the values of P for inelastic and elastic scattering, in such a way that the effects of any functional dependence of P on E are canceled. Thus P can be any function whatever of E, and, moreover, the form of P need never be considered. The energy of the beam particles is that for which theta = 0, viz. E(O). The method is, in principle, as accurate as the known Q value for the inelastic scattering process. (T.F.H.)
