Preliminary results on underground muon bundles observed in the Fréjus proton decay detector

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento C

Summary

The preliminary analysis of 2 322 muon bundles observed in the Fréjus proton decay detector (4400 m w.e.) is presented. Results do not suggest any change in primary composition in the (105÷107) GeV range.

Riassunto

Si presenta l'analisi preliminare di 2 322 fasci di muoni osservati nel rivelatore di decadimento protonico del Fréjus (4400 m w.e.) I risultati non suggeriscono un cambiamento nella composizione primaria nell'intervallo da (105÷107) GeV.

Резюме

Представлены результаты предварительного анализа 2322 групп мюонов, наблюдавшихся в детекторе протонного распада Fréjus (глубина 4400 м в.э.). Эти данные не дают каких-либо указаний на изменение химсостава первичных космических пучей в диапазоне энергий (105÷107) ГэВ.
