Scientific paper

Ilford G5 emulsions were exposed at different ceiling heights from 4 to 40 mbar at lambda = 7.8 deg NGL, and knock-on proton single tracks, low-energy evaporation stars or black prong stars, and black prong stars with individual star energy measurements, are used to study neutrons. The total neutron differential energy spectra, and the albedo spectrum, at 0 g/sq cm agree with previous calculations. Atmospheric depth curves for total neutrons and albedo neutrons are presented, and comparison is made with theoretical and experimental data. In the examination of latitude effects, a variation by a factor of about 2.3 for lambda = 7.8-41 deg NGL for total neutrons, and by a factor of 2.5 for albedo neutrons of 10-100 MeV, are found, in good agreement with previous results.
