Abstract
Phenomenon of coplanar emission of hadrons in superhigh energy interactions is investigated by studying electromagnetic and nuclear cluster structure of gamma-ray families detected in Pamir emulsion chamber experiment. Family selection by number of high energy clusters enable us to increase the effe ct/background ratio and to establish a clear energy threshold for productio n of coplanar events (E-o similar or equal to 8 PeV).
