Description

Particle density and arrival time of muons has been measured in Horizontal Air Showers. 5,600 showers have been recorded in 7,800 hours. Using stringent selection criteria 155 showers have been found horizontal (zenith angle larger 700) in the size range 4.1 > lg N > 5.5. The muons observed in these showers can be explained by purely electromagnetic origin of horizontal showers. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Teilchendichte und Ankunftszeit von Myonen wurden in horizontalen Luftschauern gemessen. In 7.800 Stunden wurden 5.600 Schauer aufgezeichnet. Unter Verwendung von strengen Kriterien wurden 155 Schauer als horizontal (Zenithwinkel groesser als 700) angesehen, die im Groessenbereich 4,1 < lg N < 5,5 lagen. Die in diesen Schauern beobachteten Myonen koennen durch rein elektromagnetischen Ursprung von horizontalen Schauern erklaert werden. (orig.)
