Scientific paper

Calculations have been made of the expected frequencies of multiple muons for the situation of the Soudan underground proton-decay detector. Comparisons are made with observations, and it is concluded that with the present model for high-energy collisions the flux of heavy nuclei (A greater than 20, principally iron) in the range 1-10 PeV/nucleus is at most 25 percent of the total particle flux in the same range.
