28 size spectra of extensive air showers in the knee region from 7 different experiment are analysed consistently. They are fitted by adjusting either 4 or 5 parameters: knee position, power law exponents above and below the knee region, overall intensity and, in addition, a parameter describing the smoothness of the bend. The residuals are then normalized to the same knee position and averaged...

The runaway breakdown – extensive atmospheric shower discharge (RB EAS) excited in thunderstorm atmosphere by high energy cosmic ray particles (εp > 10 − 10 eV) generate very powerful radio pulse. The RB EAS theory is compared with observations of radio pulses. An agreement between the theory and experiment is established. The existence of nowaday satellite and ground based systems which obtain...
