摘要:From the moment of their formation all particles produced by a primary cosmic ray are influenced by atmospheric conditions, such as pressure, temperature, air density, and others. Atmospheric Electric Field (AEF) is one of these factors. There is evidence of a considerable increase of the counting rate of particles during electrical storms. In the present work at the Chacaltaya Cosmic Rays Physics Laboratory (5220ma.s.l.), the existent relation between AEF and secondary particles produced by primary cosmic rays under two different weather conditions is searched, during fair weather days and disturbed weather days.
