Scientific paper

The hypothesis of dust grain origin of giant extensive air showers was reexamined. It was found that the electron to muon size gives a more decisive test than a study of lateral distribution functions. From the expected muon size and estimated electron size it was concluded that dust grains must be accelerated to energies greater than 2000 GeV/N. Considering conventional grains with a density rho in the range of 2 to 3 g/ccm it is very unlikely that these could be accelerated within a confinement region of heliospheric dimensions.
