EXPERIMENTAL DATA ON DEVELOPMENT OF EXTENSIVE AIR SHOWERS IN UPPER ATMOSPHERE

Journal Article · · J. Phys. Soc. Japan
OSTI ID:4763877
Air showers at altitudes of 4, 6, 9, and 12 km were investigated by means of counter hodoscopes and ionization chambers. The arrangement of the apparatus made it possible to select showers whose axes were close to vertical. Data on lateral distribution of particles, altitude variations, angular distributions, and density spectra are given. The existence of young'' showers with narrow lateral distribution of particles at high altitudes was confirmed. (A.G.W.)
