Description
Summary:The phenomenon of alignment of the highest energy secondary particles into a line, which was revealed in experiments with X-ray emulsion chambers, has not found satisfactory interpretation. In this context, study of the dependence of this effect on the nature of primary particles forming γ families must be of great interest. In is shown that families with aligned γ-ray photons are generally produced by primary protons.
