ULTRA-HIGH ENERGY EXTENSIVE AIR SHOWERS (in Russian)

Journal Article · · Zhur. Ekstpl'. i Teoret. Fiz.
OSTI ID:4141368
Extensive air showers with the number of particles from 5 x 10/sup 6/ to 10/sup 8/ were investigated. Data are presented on absolute shower intensity, value spectrnm exponent, space distribution of the electron-photon component and mu mesons of these showers. Data on the electron-photon component indicate that either in the lower atmosphere there is no balance between the electron-photon and nuclear components in ultra-high energy showers, or else electron space distribution is determined not only by Coulomb scattering but also by particle angular divergence in nuclear-cascade elementary events.
