Positrons have now been produced at the rate of 30,000 per second by gamma rays, and the Curie-Joliots of Paris observed them shooting out of light-weight elements in their first experiments with artificial radioactivity. It has even been suggested, despite their brief lives in the laboratory, that positrons may be a component of the primary cosmic rays...
