Scientific paper

Primary cosmic-ray particles, detected by means of the extensive cascades they generate in the atmosphere, have been observed over a continuous range of energies up to 100 million TeV, and apparently somewhat higher. At energies such that the radius of curvature of their trajectories, if they are protons, as expected, is comparable to our distance from the galactic center, the arrival directions of 84 observed particles are distributed randomly over the sky. The energy spectrum of the particles shows an anomaly near 1000 TeV, where the flux is higher than expected by extrapolation of data near 1 TeV, and then falls very rapidly. Above 100,000 TeV the flux falls off less rapidly.
