Connexion between the Penetrating Non-ionizing Component of Cosmic Radiation and Penetrating Showers

Abstract

IN a recent publication1 we suggested that there is a connexion between penetrating showers produced at sea-level and the penetrating non-ionizing radiation discovered by Rossi and Regener2 on Mt. Evans and by us at sea-level. The present investigation was undertaken with the object of establishing such a connexion. The results show that a considerable fraction of the penetrating showers are produced by a penetrating non-ionizing radiation, but that only a small fraction of this radiation produces penetrating showers.
