Abstract:

Propagation of high energy cosmic rays in the atmosphere is calculated analytically relative to their longitudinal as well as lateral aspect, based on a model using the accelerator results on multiple meson production.
Main concern is the energy spectrum, I(>E), and the lateral energy spread, <E2r2 >, of particles of various components in each resultant atmospheric cosmic-ray phenomenon, called “family” in emulsion chamber experiments.
Discussions are made on how each constituent assumption in the model affect the abovementioned quantities.
