| Abstract: | The steepening of the proton spectrum beyond 1000 GeV and the rise in inelastic cross sections between 20 and 600 GeV observed by the PROTON 1-2-3 satellite experiments may be explained by systematic effects of energy dependent albedo (back-scatter) from the calorimeter.
Résumé L'accroissement avec l'énergie de l'albedo dû au calorimètre peut expliquer l'augmentation de la pente du spectre primaire de protons au-delà de 1000 GeV et la croissance des sections efficaces inélastiques entre 20 et 600 GeV observés lors des expériences en satellite PROTON 1, 2 et 3.
