| 内容記述 | A multi-wire proportional counter hodoscope, efficient for both primary track recovery and reading out all wires set by secondary electrons, was flown in a balloon flight experiment covering the range of cosmic ray charge from 4 to 28 and kinetic energy T greater than 0.5 GeV/nucleon. Data on the secondary electron effects in the hodoscope is presented for primary nuclei between C and Fe and kinetic energies between 0.6 and 7.0 GeV/nucleon. The total number of affected anodes in the hodoscope is seen to increase linearly with the cosmic ray change, with a slope that depends strongly on energy over this limited primary energy range. |
