Abstract
The charge and energy of a heavy particle in cosmic radiation may be determined from the frequency of the accompanying delta rays and the multiple scattering in its path through an emulsion. The method is illustrated by the charge spectrum of 226 tracks in emulsions exposed at 95,000 feet.Keywords
