Evidence from the Soudan 1 experiment for underground muons associated with Cygnus X-3

OSTI ID:6239258
The Soudan 1 experiment has yielded evidence for an average underground muon flux of approx.7 x 10/sup -11/ cm/sup -2/ s/sup -1/ which points back to the x-ray binary Cygnus X-3, and which exhibits the 4.8 h periodicity observed for other radiation from this source. Underground muon events which seem to be associated with Cygnus X-3 also show evidence for longer time variability of the flux. Such underground muons cannot be explained by conventional models of the propagation and interaction of cosmic rays. 16 refs., 5 figs., 1 tab.
