Nucleon-nucleus collisions at the energy region relevant to cosmic-ray experiments were investigated by using Hagedorn's thermodynamic model. The scaling behaviour of different charge states of nucleons, pions and kaons was studied in the energy range 30 GeV < E < 100 TeV of primary nucleons. The muon charge ratio R was calculated for muon momenta 10 GeV/c < p < 10 TeV/c. Within this range, R was found to increase with p by about 10%. This increase was reduced to about 7% when allowance was made for the probable energy dependence of the relative abundance of heavy nuclei in the primary radiation.

Changes in cosmic-ray muon and nucleon fluxes caused by variations in atmospheric conditions were investigated theoretically and experimentally. The theory was based on the strong bootstrap version of the statistical thermodynamic model for the nucleon-nucleus collisions. A new multiplicity function was introduced in the model. This function takes into account the kinematic limitations stated by the inclusive produced particles for the mass of the parent fireball and allows the production of light hadrons with different masses. The computed predictions for the regression coefficients describing changes in muon fluxes at sea level are in satisfactory agreement with experimental values obtained by means of a scintillator telescope and radio-sonde measurements.
