Cosmic-ray data from a high pressure integrating ionization chamber, obtained at Ottawa, for 129 complete days during September 1950 to July 1951 are subjected to rigorous statistical analysis. The barometric coefficient is −0.19% per mm. of Hg for the period covered by this analysis. The results also indicate a physically significant 24-hr. wave in cosmic-ray intensity, with an amplitude of 0.12% of the total intensity, having its maximum at about 10.40 a.m. local mean time. The existence of the semidiurnal wave, however, is not physically significant.

Cosmic-ray intensity measurements have been carried out during the last year at a depth of 70 m.w.e. in the Monte dei Cappuccini laboratory in Torino, using solid vertical semicubical scintillator telescopes with a total area of 2 m2. Hourly data for 245 days corrected for barometric changes have been analyzed for the solar, apparent sidereal, and antisidereal daily variations whose harmonics are as follows:[Formula: see text]The true sidereal diurnal variation is estimated to have an amplitude of 0.019% with a time of maximum at 1720 h local sidereal time. The solar diurnal variation at different depths underground follows the energy dependence calculated with Axford's theory. The solar semidiurnal variation shows instead a fairly constant value at different μ energies. Its order of magnitude agrees with that expected as a result of Fermi acceleration in collisions of primaries moving in roughly solar and antisolar directions with solar wind inhomogeneities.
