Scientific paper

Several groups have reported 'anomalous' air showers associated with point sources in the sky, such as CYG-X3, HER-X1, etc. These showers are induced by apparently massless primaries, such as gamma-s and nu-s. Theoretical arguments based on probability conservation and an analysis of the absorption on the 3 deg K indicate that not all primaries are photons. In many composite models of quarks and leptons, neutrinos acquire a residual strong interaction at sufficiently high energies: we suggest that this can explain the 'anomalous' showers. Here we report on a search for additional observable properties of such showers which should distinguish them from either gamma or p-induced showers.
