Scientific paper

Observations giving evidence for the existence of showers penetrating at least 50 cm. of lead are reported. These penetrating showers are shown to be parts of extensive air showers. A detailed discussion shows that the penetrating showers are neither energetic cascades nor knock-on showers; they are, however, probably connected with the production of mesons. The connexion of the penetrating showers observed at sea-level with the production of mesons in the atmosphere is discussed with the following alternative assumptions: (1) that the mesons are produced by photons, (2) that the mesons are mainly produced by protons and possibly neutrons.
