The anomalous pulse spectrum of a plastic scintillator at sea level

Аномальный импульсн ый спектр пластмассо вого сцинтиллятора на уро вне моря

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996)

Summary

Scintillation counters 10 cm and 20 cm thick have been used to study the anomalous pulse spectra in the transition region observed at sea level. The experimental results may be explained in terms of the electromagnetic interactions of muons in the cosmic-ray beam.

Riassunto

Si sono usati contatori a scintillazione dello spessore di 10 e 20 cm per studiare gli spettri degli impulsi anomali nella regione di transizione osservati al livello del mare. Si possono spiegare i risultati sperimentali in base alle interazioni elettromagnetiche dei muoni nel fascio di raggi cosmici.

Резюме

Сцинтилляционные сч етчики толщиной 10 см и 20 см были использованы для исследования ано мальных импульсных с пектров в переходной области, наблюдаемой на уровн е моря. Экспериментал ьные результаты могут быт ь объяснены в терминах электрома гнитных взаимодейст вий мюонов в пучке космических лучей.
