Using a unit for catching high energy particles form space in an experiment called Pamir, scientists have obtained new data on interactions between these particles and nuclei of atoms of matter. According to a hypothesis of physicists, electromagnetic fields operating in space and in supernova stars which flare up from time to time accelerate particles to energies which are hundreds of thousands or even millions of times as high as those which can be obtained on Earth. Something resembling a layer cake with layers of lead and a special x ray film in lightproof and waterproof packages was set up on a level area at an elevation of almost 5,000 meters in the Pamir Mountains. This cake covers an area of almost 1,000 square meters. A single x ray film takes up about a hectare. Particles enter the x ray emulsion chamber and form spots on the film. The particles' energy nd the character of their interaction with nuclei of atoms of matter can be judged on the basis of these spots.
