Experimental investigation of intensive air showers with the number of particles ranging from 100,000 to 1 million
Abstract
The parameters of 30,000 selected extensive air showers for which both the soft and rigid (thresholds of 0.6 and 5 GeV) components were recorded, are investigated. The values obtained for the mean height of production of shower muons with threshold energies of 0.6 and 5 GeV were 10 + or - 3 km and 12.7 + or - 1.8 km, respectively.
