Abstract
Simultaneous observation of families and accompanied air showers is ca rried out at Mt. Chacaltaya with emulsion chambers and a air shower ar ray. The present analysis is based on the data of experiment from 1969 to 1986. 47 families with Sigma E-gamma greater than or equal to 10 T eV are coupled to the accompanied air showers of size 10(5) to 10(8). There is discrepancy between the experimental data and the simulation calculation, which indicate a need of more rapid energy dissipating pr ocess in the atmosphere in high energy region of E-0 > 10(16) eV.
