Abstract

The paper considers the rate of formation of neutrons in Pb, Cd, Fe, AI and the rate of fission of lead nuclei by the action of cosmic radiation over a range of depths from sea level to 1000 m of water equivalent (m.w.e). In the calculations, the nuclear-active components of the cosmic radiation are assumed to be highenergy/~ mesons and slow/~mesons. The processes leading to the formation of neutrons and the fission of
