Description

A search for tachyons, or other particles detectable by G-M counter tubes or liquid scintillators, arriving during the approximately 100μs immediately preceding extensive air showers (primary energy approximately 1015 eV) has provided no positive evidence for the existence of such particles.

Abstract (German)

Die Suche nach Tachyonen oder nach von G-M Zaehlroehren bzw. fluessigen Szintillatoren nachweisbaren Teilchen, die waehrend der ungefaehr 100 μs unmittelbar vor ausgedehnten Luftschauern (Primaerenergie: ungefaehr 1015 eV) auftreffen muessten, erbrachte keinen Beweis fuer die Existenz solcher Teilchen.
