Absorption mean free path of the nucleonic component of cosmic radiation

The absorption mean free path L of star-producing radiation was determined by means of the local production of neutrons in condensed materials; for that purpose a neutron monitor was installed in an aircraft, and two flights were performed at the geomagnetic latitudes 23.3°S (Buenos Aires, Repúblic...
