TOTAL ABSORPTION CERENKOV DETECTORS AND A MEASUREMENT OF ENERGY FLOW IN THE EXTENSIVE AIR SHOWER
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4331109
Some details regarding Cherenkov detectors which were designcd for the measurement of the energy flow of electronic components in the extensive air shower are described. The principle of the detectors is the utilization of the Cherenkov radiation from electrons of cascade showers produced in the heavy material, viz. lead glass and lead nitrate solution in the present study. The lateral distribution of the energy flow carried by the electronic and nuclear- active components was studied with these detectors, and the distribution function was tentatively concluded to be r/sup -1.1 plus or minus 0.2/f( gamma ), where f( gamma ) is the lateral distribution function of the density of electrons.
