Abstract

Problems associated with the passage of high-energy charged-particle pairs through matter (the Chudakoff effect) are investigated. It is shown that such an effect could not produce lightly ionized tracks which would be mistaken for quarks in cosmic-ray experiments. Treatments of polarization of the medium and Landau straggling are given.
