Abstract
Experiments have been carried out at sea level to measure penetration of particles from local showers produced in lead as a function of the angular width of the cone of shower particles. The shower particles are assumed to be mesons and are observed by counter arrangements connected in coincidence and anticoincidence.The results show that the showers containing the more penetrating particles are those of wide angular spread. The multiplicity of penetrating particles per shower is estimated to be at least 3.7, and the curve of the angular distribution shows a maximum corresponding to a shower cone of a half angle of about 15°.
