The time distribution of EAS with E above 10 to the 14th eV
Abstract
The arrival times of EAS initiated by cosmic rays of E above 10 to the 14 eV using the EAS array in Beijing. The distribution of arrival time intervals of EAS with E above 2.6 x 10 to the 14th 2.6 x to the 14th eV is considerably higher than the exponential distribution in the region of time intervals less than 21 second. It is suggested that a time correlation component is probably present in the EAS events.
