C175900100009 SAMPLE 0.00025-inch (0.93 mg. per sq.cm.) stacked foils of C175900100010 Mylar. Mylar, a polyester, contains 33.2% oxygen, C175900100011 62.7% carbon, and 4.1% hydrogen. C175900100012 DETECTOR (PROPC,NAICR) The positron emission rate of the Mylar C175900100013 foils was measured with end-window gas-flow C175900100014 proportional methane-filled counters. The counters C175900100015 were calibrated with a 3x3 inch NaI(Tl) scintillation C175900100016 counter. C175900100017 METHOD (ACTIV,STTA) C175900100018 ERR-ANALYS (DATA-ERR) Estimates of errors indicate that C175900100019 accuracies of +-10% should be possible, the per cent C175900100020 errors being standard deviations. C175900100021 CORRECTION The correction to the counting rate for C175900100022 self-absorption of positrons in the Mylar was C175900100023 determined by an empirical curve. This correction was C175900100024 1.7%.
