Abstract
Secondary cosmic-ray muon and hadron fluxes are calculated for particle energies above 200 GeV using accelerator data on inclusive hadron cross sections and the known primary flux. The gross differences between the calculated and measured muon and hadron charge ratios require radical reexamination of conventional views on hadron interactions or the neutron-proton ratio in the primary flux.Keywords
