Abstract

As an example of the application of the K-meson production cross section we have considered the K-meson component in the extensive air-showers. A cascade theory of the cosmic-ray shower has been developed embracing the fact that the heavy mesons and hyperons cascade in the nucleus in a manner analogous to the pions and nucleons. Numerical results for the nucleons, pions, hyperons and the K-meson components in the longitudinal development of the cosmic-ray air shower have been presented and compared with available experimental data.
