Abstract
Observations are reported on events involving multiple penetrating particles recorded in a scintillator-neon flash tube telescope, at a depth of 1500 hg/cm2 in the Kolar Gold Mines. From these, it is shown that: (1) the cross-section for nuclear interaction of muons of average energy ~200 GeV is ~6 × 10-30 cm2/nucleon; (2) the decoherence curve for events involving two parallel muons is uniform over the range of distances from 0 to 2 metres; and (3) the angular distribution of double-parallel muons closely resembles that of single muons, implying that these two types of events are probably produced in the atmosphere in a similar manner.
