Abstract
In the cosmic ray experiments deep underground in the Kolar Gold Mines, a special class of events has been observed, at present 6 in number, characterised by several, (in general 3), charged particles arising from a vertex, either in air or in the thin material of the detectors, with large opening angles; the vertex is at a distance of around 70–100 cms from the rock wall. The most plausible interpretation of these events is that they are due to the decay of new, massive and long-lived particles produced in neutrino collisions inside rock, or through hitherto unknown processes.
