Cosmic Radiation Observed at the Col du Lautaret, Hautes-Alpes

Abstract

LES deux clichés reproduits ici ont été pris dans l'été 1943 au col du Lautaret (2,060 m.) au cours d'une mission organisée par M. Leprince-Ringuet. La détente de la chambre de Wilson était commandée par trois compteurs dispersés sur une aire d'une dizaine de m.2; deux de ces compteurs étaient couverts de 4 ou de 8 cm. de plomb. Les gerbes des figs. 1 et 2 sont donc secondaires de grandes gerbes d'Auger particulièrement riches en rayonnement pénétrant.
