- Abstract
The paper considers the possibility of EAS production by charmed particles and direct muons (muons produced in decays of particles with a very short life-time comparing to that of charmed particles, as, for example, in decays of resonances). At large angles (≳ 70°) charmed particles and direct muons could be completely responsible for EAS measured at the sea level. The estimations are made for the primary nucleon energy 1019 eV and the angles 45–72°.
