Charge distribution of cosmic rays above 1 TeV
Grigorov N. L.
The first charge distribution of the primary cosmic rays with energies above 1 TeV in the interval 6<Z< 15 is reported. This distribution was measured by the Sokol-2 instrument aboard the Kosmos-1713 satellite. A method for significantly improving the accuracy of measurements of the charges of high-energy cosmic-ray particles in instruments of the Sokol type is described briefly.
