Abstract
The results are given of counter experiments carried out at an altitude of 10,618 feet (Echo Lake, Colorado) on extensive atmospheric showers, or Auger showers, of a minimum spread of 22 meters. An efficient method (the master group method) of investigation of such showers is described. It was found that high energy electrons or photons, initiating a shower below a lead screen of 10-cm thickness, are accompanied, above the absorber, by a shower of high particle density, located either in the central part of the core of the Auger shower or in its close neighborhood.
