Abstract

Cosmic ray investigations in high mountain altitude laboratories, their experimental aspects and scientific aims are presented. The main features of high-energy nuclear interaction phenomena, with particular emphasis to experimental observations with the emulsion chamber technique, are described. Finally, future prospects of detector installations in high mountain altitude for cosmic ray investigations are considered.
