Scientific paper

A phenomenological model is presented which can explain all aspects of the observations of underground muons associated with Cygnus X-3. A long-lived, light neutral particle produced at Cygnus X-3 interacts in the earth with a cross section in the range 10 to 20 μb. This interaction produces a massive secondary particle with mass 10 to 40 GeV/c2, which decays to at least one muon. It is possible that the primary particles are produced hadronically at Cygnus with a very small cross section.
