Description

The data on the atmosphere photon energy spectrum at the various altitudes and latitudes obtained from a balloon-borne scintillation counter are presented. At pressures of 10-500 g/cm2 the photon energy spectrum in the 0.02-3 MeV energy range is invariable and independent of the geomagnetic cut-off threshold of primary cosmic rays. (orig./WBU)

Abstract (German)

Die Messdaten ueber die Energiespektren atmosphaerischer Protonen in verschiedenen Hoehen und Breiten, die von Ballon-getragenen Szintillationszaehlern aufgenommen wurden, werden vorgestellt. Bei Drucken von 10-500 g/cm2 ist das Photonen-Energiespektrum im Bereich 0,02-3 MeV unveraenderlich und unabhaengig von der geomagnetischen Abschneideschwelle fuer die primaeren kosmischen Strahlen.
