Results are presented for the lateral distribution and the longitudinal development of electrons between an atmospheric depth of 550 g cm-2 and 1100 g cm-2 in air showers with sizes 3*106 to 5*109 observed at Mount Chacaltaya. The lateral distribution is compared with those determined at mountain altitudes and at sea level by other groups. The longitudinal development is also compared with the results of other groups and with theoretical predictions under various models of nuclear interactions.
Muons in large air showers observed at 5200 m above sea level
(IOP Publishing, 1979) C. Aguirre; A Treppi; F Kakimato; K Kamata; T. Kaneko; P. K. MacKeown; Y. Mizumoto; Kazuaki Murakami; H. Nakatani; K. Nishi
Results are presented for the lateral distribution of muons with energies above 600 MeV in air showers with electron sizes 107 to 109 observed at Mount Chacaltaya. Results are also presented for the muon size spectrum at 644 g cm-2 and the longitudinal development of muons from 550 g cm-2 to 990 g cm-2 for intensities 10-8 m-2 s-1 sr-1 to 10-10 m-2 s-1 sr-1.
Solar Neutron Event in Association with a Large Solar Flare on 2000 November 24

Solar neutrons have been detected using the neutron monitor located at Mt. Chacaltaya, Bolivia, in association with a large solar flare on November 24, 2000. This is the first detection of solar neutrons by the neutron monitor that have been reported so far in solar cycle 23. The statistical significance of the detection is 5.5 sigma. In this flare, the intense emission of hard X-rays and gamma-rays has been observed by the Yohkoh Hard X-ray Telescope (HXT) and Gamma Ray Spectrometer (GRS), respectively. The production time of solar neutrons is better correlated with those of hard X-rays and gamma-rays than with the production time of soft X-rays. The observations of the solar neutrons on the ground have been limited to solar flares with soft X-ray class greater than X8 in former solar cycles. In this cycle, however, neutrons were detected associated with an X2.3 solar flare on November 24, 2000. This is the first report of the detection of solar neutrons on the ground associated with a solar flare with its X-ray class smaller than X8.
