Abstract
For the calculation of the longitude and latitude effects, as well as the time variations, of charged primary cosmic radiation, the knowledge of the solid angle subtended by the main and shadow cones for all latitudes and energies is essential. This solid angle is calculated over a wide range of energy and latitude from the results of Lemaître and Vallarta, and from those of Schremp, and the results given in the form of several graphs.
