First observation of high-energy cosmic-ray events obtained in coincidence between EAS-TOP and LVD at Gran Sasso

  • Note Brevi
  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

We present the first results of the combined measurements of the EAS-TOP (at the surface) and LVD (deep underground) detectors operating as a combined telescope in the study of UHE cosmic rays and their interactions. Examples of different classes of events and their significance in different high-energy and astrophysical studies are discussed.
