โฆ Synopsis
The method of analyzing the results of cosmic ray BARTOL RESEARCH FOUNDATION deflection experiments, developed in a previous paper, is here extended to the case where the region of uniform Communication No. 90. deflecting field is of the same width as that of the counters.
In this form it is applicable to the electrostatic deflection experiment of Lenz, and to the electrostatic and magnetic experiments of W. F. G. Swann and the writer. The magnetic experiments of Curtiss and of Mott-Smith are reexamined in the light of the energy distribution recently published by Anderson and Neddermeyer. The latter's result is found to be not inconsistent with the assumption that the induction B gives the correct force; the result of the former requires the addition of low energy rays to the distribution.

The most important underground detectors addressing Cosmic Ray physics are described, with a special emphasis on the description of the used technology.
We discuss the prospects of next generation ultra-high energy cosmic ray detectors to gain information both on the sources and on large-scale magnetic fields from the distribution in arrival times, directions, and energies of charged ultra-high energy cosmic rays from discrete sources.
