ON THE ENERGY SPECTRUM OF THE NUCLEAR ACTIVE COMPONENT OF THE COSMIC RADIATION AT 200 M AND AT 3200 M ABOVE SEA LEVEL

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4785923
A measurement of nuclear active particles at sea level (200 m) and at mountain altitudes (3200 m) was undertaken. The apparatus consisted of ionization chamber trays and mixed lead-graphite absorbers. The spectrum found was almost exponential. The slope had a slight increasing tendency at high energies, but was without statistical significance. The exponent of the spectrum in the energy range from 10/sup 12/to 5 x 10/sup 13/ ev was 1.6 plus or minus 0.2 at sea level and 1.58 plus or minus 0.09 at mountain altitudes. It had the same value as the primary spectrum exponent in the energy interval from 10/sup 12/ to 10/sup 15/ ev. This means that the total ineleasticity coefficient is energy independent. (auth)
