Jain, P L

In a stack of 30 nuclear emulsions exposed to cosmic radiation near the geomagnetic equator, 65 tracks of heavy primary nuclei were located. Out of the total 65 tracks of heavy nnclei, 24 exhibited interactions with the nucleons of the emulsion. In 10 of these 24 interactions primary particles break up into fragments of charge --2. The charge of these particles is determined by delta - ray counting and from gap length distribution while the energy per nucleon is found from the relative scattering method and from the opening angle of the fragments.
