Abstract

An continuing search for primary particles is performed using a new means of finding and tracking particles in nuclear emulsions. Particle interactions registered in stratospheric X-ray emulsion chambers (XECs) are attributed to nucleon–nuclei interactions recorded in the Russian–Japanese RUNJOB experiment. According to the data from processing the interactions between galactic particles and matter in XECs RUNJOB-3B, 6A, and RUNJOB-11A, 11B with energy thresholds ΣE γ ≥ 3 and ΣE γ ≥ 5 TeV, respectively, around 50% of all proton tracks went unidentified, which coincides with the initial results from the RUNJOB experiment.
