Description

The Monte Carlo method described in the previous article was applied to simulate the longitudinal developments of the showers induced by muon-nuclear interaction in standard rock and air. Then these results were used to calculate the fluxes of the burst observed at a given depth of undergruond or atmosphere with muon-nucleon interaction cross section expressed by D.K.M.N. formula. The contribution of the showers to the total fluxes of burst turnes out to be about 15-20% which seems unable to be neglected for analyzing the observed results. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Das in der vorigen Veroeffentlichung beschriebene Monte-Carlo-Verfahren wurde angewandt, um die Laengsentwicklungen der durch Wechselwirkung zwischen Myonen und Kernen in Standard-Gestein und Luft verursachten Schauer zu simulieren. Diese Ergebnisse wurden dann dazu benutzt, die Fluesse des Ionisationsstosses zu berechnen, der bei einer gegebenen Tiefe unter der Erde oder Atmosphaere beobachtet wird, wobei der Myonen-Kerne-Wechselwirkungsquerschnitt durch D.K.M.N.-Gleichung ausgedrueckt wurde. Es stellt sich heraus, dass der Beitrag der Schauer zu den Gesamtionisationsstossfluessen etwa 15-20% betraegt, was als unfaehig erscheint, bei der Analyse der beobachteten Ergebnisse vernachlaessigt zu werden.
