A DETERMINATION OF THE VOLUMETRIC RATE OF COSMIC RAY STAR PRODUCTION AT HIGH ALTITUDES USING NUCLEAR EMULSIONS (thesis)
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4829869
The volumetric rate of cosmic-ray star production at high altitudes was determined. Nuclear emulsions were included in a rocket flight and balloon flight. The emulsions were processed with control plates with identical histories except for the flight, and then microscopically scanned for cosmic-ray stars. Aside from simple electron and proton tracks, the events discovered in the exposed nuclear emulsions fell into four classes: thorium stars, cosmic-ray stars, pi-mu-e decays, and heavy primary tracks. Results are presented in graph form. (M.C.G.)
