Further Results from the Study of Sea-Level Penetrating Showers

Abstract
Thirty-five non-ionizing link showers (produced at a 17-g/cm2 Pb plate) associated with sea-level penetrating showers are presented. These have their axes oriented toward the origins of the penetrating showers and are believed to be cascade electronic showers initiated by high energy photons, which are probably produced from the decay of π0 mesons among the penetrating shower particles. The size distribution of these showers is given showing a spread from 2 to 20 particles per shower. The angular distribution of their axes with respect to the penetrating shower axes is also approximately determined.
