| Sumario: | The pre-lightning enhancements of the soft component of cosmic rays were detected in the experiment with the Baksan air shower array. The pictures of two brightest events of this type were published, giving evidence of a big difference in duration of the enhancement depending on the lightning polarity. Now we study the lightning effect statistically. The variance of counting rate is calculated excluding time intervals around lightning from the analysis. This processing results in a decrease of the variance. The value of this decrease is studied in some detail for various selection criteria. |
