Scientific paper

As a part of the program of development of a new instrument called Ionization- Neutron Calorimeter (INCA) aimed at studying primary cosmic radiation, exp erimental data on average values and fluctuations of the neutron yield from a 60-cm-thick lead target are obtained. The target was exposed to pion and proton accelerator b eams with energies of 4 and 70 GeV, resp ectively, and to an electron beam with an energy of 200 to 550 MeV. The exp erimental data obtained well agree with the results of a simulation by the SHIELD code used for development of INCA elements. It is shown that the same particle energy, the average neutron yield for electron pro jectiles is by the factor of approximately 50 lower than for hadrons.
