Abstract
The authors have searched for precursors to air showers using a 0.64 m2 scintillation detector system located under a thick layer of absorber inside a multiplate cloud chamber. They find no evidence for a finite flux of tachyon-like particles in an operating time of 3621 hours compared with the observation of six events in 40 hours with a 2.1 m2 detector as reported by Ashton et al. (1977).Keywords
