Description:
The experimental data of extensive air showers (EAS) accompanied by gamma-families, with total energy greater than 10 TeV, were compared with a Monte Carlo simulation with a rising cross section proportional to E sup 0.04 for the p-air inelastic cross section. It is found that the absolute intensity of size spectrum of such EAS is strongly affected by the primary protons intensity at 10 to the 15th power approx. 10 to the 16th power eV region and the experimental size spectrum agrees with the simulated spectra for the p-poor primary composition better than the p-rich one.
