Abstract

Interactions of high-energy cosmic neutral particles with substance of double-sided nuclear emulsion films, recorded in X-ray emulsion chambers (REC) RUNJOB-3В, XI-A, and В exposed in the stratosphere at a level of ~10 g/cm2 for 6–7 days in the RUNJOB Russian–Japanese balloon experiment are considered. The probability of these interactions is discussed based on calculations performed using the MC0 and QGSJET (CORSIKA, version 5.20) models of nucleon—nucleus and nucleus—nucleus interactions.
