- Description
- The discovery of the cosmic rays by Victor Franz Hess in 1912, the previous achievements and the following discovering of elementary particles are described, which are created in the atmosphere. These particles determine the background of detectors, shielded with heavy metals against natural radioactivity of the vicinity. It is shown, how the cosmic ray caused background is reduced by coincidence, anti - coincidence as well as underground measurements.
