Abstract
IN a recent communication, Rossi1 analysed burst measurements of Hulsizer2 and concluded that if a primary soft component exists at all, it constitutes not more than a few per cent of the total primary intensity. In our opinion, Rossi‘s numerical interpretation of Hulsizer‘s results is erroneous.
