THE NUMBER OF EXTENSIVE ATMOSPHERIC COSMIC RAY SHOWERS NEAR SEA LEVEL (in Russian)
A scheme is suggested for recording extensive showers and determining the number of particles by correlating the flux density at various points near sea level. Recordings were made of quadruple discharge coincidences which were not followed by triple coincidences in either of three counters placed at approximately 6 m from the center of the installation. The area of all counters ( sigma ) in all recording channels, including anticoincidence channels, varied simultaneously ( sigma = 0.4m/sup 2/; 0.2m/sup 2/; 990 cm/sup 2/; 330 cm/sup 2/; and 165 cm/sup 2/ ). Numerical calculations of recorded showers are approximated to integral spectra f(>n) = A/N/sup 1.45/ with the assumption that charged particle spatial distributions are not related to the number of particles in the shower. The results are in good agreement with data obtained by T. Abrasimov et al. (Izvest. Akad. Nauk SSSR, Ser. Fiz. 19. 66(1955)). The results obtained for counter area sigma = 0.4m/sup 2/ are plotted. The calculations and experimental data (for H = 200 m above sea level) are correlated, considering the spectrum value A = 9 x 10/sup 4/ m/sup -2/ hour/sup -1/. (R.V.J.)
