Abstract

An analysis has been made of air shower data obtained over a 13 month period at Buckland Park. Showers with sizes of about 106 particles were found to have an attenuation length of 185 ± 5 g cm-2 absorption lengths of about 100 g cm-2 and a shower size spectrum which progressively steepens between sizes of about 5 x 105 and 107 particles.
