OSTI ID:4298078
Inelastic interaction between cosmic ray protons of kinetic energy above 7 Bev (mean energy approximately 20 Bev) and carbon and hydrogen nuclei was investigated at a geomagnetic latitude of 31 N in the stratosphere. Measurements were made with a telescope with a lead filter and the investigated graphite and paraffin filters and also with the hodoscope system of counters which surrounded the telescope and filters. The value 315 plus or minus 50 mb was obtained for the proton-carbon nucleus inelastic interaction cross section. The protonproton inelastic interaction cross section was 32 plus or minus 10 mb. The average number of charged penetrating particles in showers from carbon wss found to be 4.2 plus or minus 0.5 particles per shower and approximately 3.4 particles per shower produced in hydrogen.
