ON THE SIZE DISTRIBUTION OF EXTENSIVE ATMOSPHERIC SHOWERS (in Russian)

OSTI ID:4326449
Experimental data pertaining to the distribution of atmospheric showers with respect to the number of particles are presented for particle numbers ranging from 10/sup 5/ to 2 x 10/sup 6/. An analysis of these data and the published data available indicates that when the number of particles lies between 10sup 6/ and 10/sup 7/ there is probably an irregularity in the shower size distribution curve. This is considered as an indication of the metagalactic origin of cosmic rays with energies>10//sup 16/ ev. (tr-auth)
