Abstract

Showers with large zenith angles are observed in emulsion chambers exposed at Mt. Kanbala. The intensity of high energy muons is given and the multicore showers with large zenith angles are found. It is indicated that a new phenomenon may exist in the high energy nuclear interactions of cosmic rays.
