Description
Summary:Intensity distribution of cosmic rays over the celestial sphere was scanned with an alt-azimuth counter telescope of a narrow angular resolution, kept nearly horizontal so that the effective cosmic-ray particles were free from complicated geomagnetic deflection. The result suggests the existence of narrow anisotropies, i. e. something like point sources. The charge and the average momentum of the cosmic-ray particles, with which the narrow anisotropies were distinguished, were observed to be positive and 2 Størmers respectively.
