Tidal effects on the production of mesons in the atmosphere

A W Mailvaganam

Show affiliations


The theory of forced oscillations, magnified by resonance, of the earth's atmosphere with a period of 12 solar hours, as worked out by Pekeris, is applied to calculate the amplitude of oscillation of the layer in the atmosphere in which mesons are produced by primary incident particles. The calculations show that, on account of these oscillations and of the finite life-time of mesons, a semi-diurnal variation in meson intensity with an amplitude of the order of 0.14% may be expected.
