Observation of super high energy big family with large scale Fe emulsion chambersIn order to get higher efficiencies for detecting hadrons and to make technical improvements in the chamber structure, the Mt. Kambala Emulsion Chamber Collaboration constructed 57 sq. m. of Fe chamber, with thickness 29 c.u.(1c.u.=17.6 mm Fe), using 300 tons of Fe plates and made the first exposure from Sept., 1982 to May, 1984. The photosensitive layers consist of X-ray films of Sakura N type, Fuji No. 100 type and Tianjin III type, some of them contain also emulsion plates of Fuji ET7B type. They are inserted between the Fe plates at 2 c.u., beginning at 5 c.u. from the chamber top. In a number of blocks, 3 mm spacings are provided at every 2 c.u. of Fe plates to facilitate the replacement of photosensitive layers, without disassembling the chamber. On the bottom of the chamber Fe plates of thickness 9 mm are placed in order to shield the chamber from the radioactivities of the ground. An event, numbered K2 58 of visible energy sigma E sub gamma = 7345 TeV was found in this exposure. No obvious halo is seen in the event and all the showers are clearly separated and easy to measure. A brief report of the preliminary results is presented.
