On the Decay of Neutral V-Particles
Phys. Rev. 83 (1951) 843;

Abstracts
Nine measured examples of V^o decay show all negative particles mesons, one appearing to undergo π^–μ decay, and most positive particles protons with probably two examples of lighter positives. The Q-values deduced for the V^o → p π^– reaction are regarded as inconsistent with a unique two-body decay, and the interpretation of the results on the scheme V^o → nucleon π π is examined. (Science Abstracts, 1951, 8810. J. G. Wilson.).
