Resumo

Recently it has been found that cosmic-ray interactions of ultra-high energy leave visible marks of more than several micron in lunar-rock minerals. In the present work the method for determining the energy of these interactions is given and the cosmic-ray flux in past aeons is determined. It is found on the basis of the present experiment that the random cosmic-ray intensity has not varied enormously during lunar history.
