This thesis contains a brief description of the apparatus, the procedure, and the results of an investigation of the absorption of cosmic rays in thin absorbers. The existence of an anomalous maximum at a thickness of 10.5 cm. of lead is reported, which is tenatively interpreted as being caused by the production of a penetrating ionizing radiation by a neutral radiation through some seemingly unknown process. / Thesis / Master of Science (MS)
