- Description
- Systematic analysis is made on cosmic ray induced atmospheric interactions detected by Brasil-Japan Collaboration on Chacaltaya Emulsion Chamber Experiments to study the hadron multiple production. It is demonstrated that hadron rich events are not characterized only by super families (halo events). About 5% of the events with visible energy in the range of 100 - 1000 TeV. and transverse momentum density over the rapidity scale <math>\ge </math> 1 GeV.Km, has an anomalously "hadron excess",already observed in super families (visible energy > 1000.TeV). The analysis did not include events identified as exotic ones (Centauro, Mini Centauro, Geminion and Chiron) (3)
