我们在这里首次报道了雷暴期间产生的低能中子的超高通量的记录。测量到的中子计数率增强与雷暴放电直接相关。我们所获得的低能中子通量值对雷暴中中子产生的光子核通道是一个挑战：所需高能γ射线通量的估计值比观测值高约3个数量级。
We report here for the first time about the registration of an extraordinary high flux of low-energy neutrons generated during thunderstorms. The measured neutron count rate enhancements are directly connected with thunderstorm discharges. The low-energy neutron flux value obtained in our work is a challenge for the photonuclear channel of neutron generation in thunderstorm: the estimated value of the needed high-energy γ-ray flux is about 3 orders of magnitude higher than that one observed.
