For the absorption of cosmic radiation

Abstract

An attempt to formulate the simplest assumptions, the sufficient to reproduce the experimental findings on the absorption of cosmic radiation. It is found that the assumption of complete absorption by the generation of Showers sufficient to explain the present experimental facts. By comparison with the experiments we calculate numerical results for the different processes occurring, such as the cross section for the production of a Showers on a lead core. I would not fail even at this point to thank Prof. Paul sincerely for the friendly interest which he has always shown me, and for valuable discussions in carrying out this work.
