Anomalies in the Absorption Curve of Cosmic Rays in Lead

Abstract

IN connexion with the work of E. Fenyves and O. Haiman1, the results obtained in this Institute2 may be of interest. In 1947, we repeated the measurements made by Boethe and Kolhörster3, Rossi4, and Auger, Leprince-Ringuet and Ehrenfest5, in order to obtain the absorption curve of the vertical component of cosmic radiation in lead, at sea-level, in Buenos Aires (lat. 34° 35′ 30″).
