RESULTS OF BALLOON FLIGHTS FOR COSMIC RADIATION MEASUREMENTS AT WEISSENAU AND LINDAU (GERMANY). Technical Note No. 3

OSTI ID:4774253
>The results of 10 balloon flights with counter telescopes and of 24 flights with single counters are presented. It was found that a nearly unique correlation exists between the counting rate in a certain altitude and the counting rate of the neutron monitor on ground if only galactic radiation impinges at the top of the atmosphere. The counting rates of the single counter scatter in a more pronounced manner with respect to the average expectation values related to the neutron counting rates than those of the telescope. This is considered to be the result of meson decay along the very extended paths traversed by particles arriving from strongly inclined directions. These are accepted by the single counter with its larger aperture in contrast to the telescope which responds only to particles arriving in a narrower cone centered around the vertical. (auth)
