Abstract

The penetrating nature of the cascade showers in the high-energy atmospheric families observed by Chacaltaya two-storey emulsion chambers are studied by comparing with those in the simulated events obtained by the full Monte Carlo calculation through the atmosphere and the detector. We find an excess of the number of penetrating showers over the expectations and these penetrating showers are mostly found as members of shower-clusters with small lateral spread.
