The contribution of photoproduced muons to the total number of low-energy muons in extensive air showers is discussed. The content of photoproduced muons (>0.5 GeV) is estimated to be less than 60% at a primary energy of 10<sup>19</sup> eV and 40% at 10<sup>17</sup> eV from the Akeno experiments. Using this value, the authors set an upper limit for the gamma -ray flux from the direction of Cyg X-3 of 3.1*10<sup>-16</sup> cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup> for >or=1.5*10<sup>16</sup> eV and 1.3*10<sup>-16</sup> cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup> for >or=3.5*10<sup>16</sup> eV (90% confidence level). The excess of gamma -ray showers from galactic latitude mod b mod <10 degrees is less than 0.1% of the total cosmic-ray flux around 1.5*10<sup>16</sup> eV. |
