International Conference

An error in the data on the muon component of extensive air showers presented at the 10th International Conference on Cosmic Rays is corrected. The effect on the explanation of the anomalies in the muon data which involved an abnormally large transverse momentum is considered, and an alternative explanation for the persisting anomalies in the data is suggested.

Shower Size

The lateral distribution of the muon component of extensive air showers, and the variation in the total number of muons with shower size, have been studied for showers of sizes between 3 × 105 and 108 particles. The lateral distribution function is found to be in essential agreement with Griesen's formula, and the total number of muons is found to vary smoothly with shower size, as N0.75.

Further measurements are reported on the momenta and densities of muons in EAS using the Haverah Park solid iron magnet spectrograph. The observational data are based on measurements of 5 000 muons in the momentum range 1–100 GeV/c at distances 10–700 m from the cores of showers of size 105–108 particles. The results are compared with the predictions of recent models for the nuclear cascade. A possible explanation for the excess of high-momentum particles observed is the occurrence of secondaries with large transverse momenta.
