Experiment Pamir-4: Analysis of superfamily with halo of electromagnetic nature detected in deep XECThe family Pb2-11 was detected in the multilayer lead XEC with total thickness of 100 c.u. exposed at the Pamirs. Each lead layer was 1 cm thick, the first registering layer being located under 2 cm of Pb(= 4 c.u.). The family comprised a narrow group of gamma-rays which near the maximum of cascade development (= 14 c.u.) produced a dark spot of optical density D approx. .4 over area S = 25 sq.mm. The narrow group of gamma-rays was traced up to 14th layer corresponding to 30 c.u. Deeper in the chamber, for the space of 70 c.u. no hadron cascade was observed. Thus, the pure electromagnetic halo could be assumed. Preliminary results of the analysis of the family Pb2-11 was presented. The methods of estimation of energy of primary particle and height of nuclear interaction responsible for the observed halo are considered in more detail.
