Abstract
Computer simulations have been made of the propagation through the atmosphere of protons and pions using a model developed primarily for high energy air shower studies. The results are compared with those from other recent simulations and with measurement. There is little agreement between the results of the various simulations; the results of the present work based upon a simple model and assuming reasonable values for the primary intensity, are in broad agreement with the observational data.Keywords
