Description

The work of Watson and Wilson (1974) on the introduction of a parameter of shower-front development fluctuations has been extended using a purpose-built recording system yielding results over an increased distance range from the shower axis. An exhaustive study of possible spurious sources of the observed features has been undertaken, and none of significance have been identified. The values of the fluctuation parameter now given are considered well-established. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Die Arbeit von Watson und Wilson (1974) ueber die Einfuehrung eines Parameters der Schauerfrontfluktuationen wurde erweitert, indem mit einem fuer diesen Zweck gebauten Registriersystem Ergebnisse ueber einen vergroesserten Bereich von der Schauerachse gewonnen wurden. Es wurde eine umfassende Untersuchung von moeglichen unechten Quellen der beobachteten Merkmale durchgefuehrt, es konnten jedoch keine solchen identifiziert werden. Der Zahlenwert des Fluktuationsparameters wird als gut gesichert betrachtet. (orig.)
