The Soviet Journal of Atomic Energy Aims and scope

Abstract

Results are given of the measurements of the masses of the H, D, He4 and C12 isotopes carried out by means of a mass-spectrograph with a resolving power of 70,000–100,000. The data obtained agree well with the corresponding mass values obtained from the energy balance of nuclear reactions.

Additional information

The author consider it to be their duty to express their gratitude to M. Ardenne for valuable advice and for his Interest In this work, and also to G. Jaeger, I. A. Chukhtn, attd V. Roggenbuk for the help given by thgm in adjusting the equipment.

After the present article was completed a communication by Nier and collaborators [10] appeared giving new preliminary values of masses obtained on a new mass-spectrometer with a maximum resolving power of approximately 100,000: H = 1.0081439 ± 5; D = 2.0147380 ± 10; C12 = 12.0038174 ± 18.
