NUCLEAR-ACTIVE PARTICLES IN ATMOSPHERIC SHOWERS (in Russian)

OSTI ID:4838460
Broad and "young" atmospheric showers were studied at sea level with an arrangement of 128 ionization chambers covering an area of 10 m/sup 2/. Near the axes of extensive showers the energy of nuclear-active particles was found to be less than 50% of the energy of the electron-photon component. The mean inelasticity coefficient of nuclearactive particles of extensive showers exceeds 0.6 -- 0.75. The nuclear-active component is practically absent in a large fraction of "young" atmospheric showers. (auth)
