- Mike Jamison tells me I am out to sea on the penetration power of gammas.
- He says 4 Mev gammas are depleted only 90% per inch of lead. He also
- says that penetration effects vary with energy, penetration dropping
- once again as energies increase beyond a certain level.
-
- So Droege probably (???) has an external gamma source -- which accounts
- for his 1/10000th of Ying's intensity.
-
- You could still use my "stipulator" (as comedian Norm Crosby?? would call
- it) for the alpha source.
-
- I averaged Tom's three "on" powers minus the average of the three "off"
- powers, and I come up with a delta power of 8.5 milliwatts. Though this
- is about 1/60th Ying's delta power, Tom claims his incident boson
- intensity is 1/10000th that of Ying's.
-
- Conclusion -- Tom's bosons kick butt.
