Energy spectra of gamma-quanta at heights of 4370 and 4880 m /'Pamir' experiment/
Abstract
Two large specially developed emulsion stacks were used to study gamma-quanta spectra in the Pamir mountain range during 1971 through 1973. The ionospheric absorption coefficient was determined by comparing the intensities of gamma-quanta fluxes at two heights. Graphs showing the differential spectra of gamma-quanta at various atmospheric depths; the dependence of vertical gamma-quanta fluxes on the atmospheric depth; and the integral zenith-angle distribution of gamma quanta are presented and discussed.
