Abstract

The production of mesotrons by non-ionizing radiation in a lead thickness of 2 cm was measured in an airplane at a magnetic latitude of 22° North. In general the results are in agreement with those obtained by Schein, Jesse, and Wollan. In addition it was found that mesotrons passing through 8 cm of lead exhibit in the intensity $vs$ . altitude curve a marked hump in the neighborhood of a pressure of 530 millibars.
