OBSERVATIONS ON NIGHT-SKY CERENKOV RADIATION IN EXTENSIVE AIR SHOWERRS.
Abstract
The Cerenkov light associated with EAS of sizes between aprox. 2 times 10 to the 4th and 2 times 10 to the 6th power was observed. The size spectrum of the associated showers is much flatter than that of all events, and the maximum pulse heights recorded for showers of a given size are almost independent of the particle number. This can be interpreted as a consequence of the zenith angle distribution of the EAS. The maximum intensity of the Cerenkov light was found not at the centre but at some 20 m from it. This may be explained by the angular divergence of the shower particles. (Author)
