On the possibility of PCR chemical composition study by means of emulsion chambers
Description
Chemical composition of PCR were investigated by means of emulsion chambers in several works. The conclusion was that the fraction of Fe induced families is less than 3% - 7% and heavy nuclei in primary cosmic rays with energy more than 1016 eV are less than 0.22 - 0.27. The aim of the present report is to show the origin of sensitivity of γ-hadron families to the atomic number of PCR and review once more the conclusion about normal composition of PCR in the energy interval 1015 - 1016 eV
