Abstract: The characteristics of cosmic ray hadrons are studied by use of mountain emulsion chambers installed on Mt. Kambala 5500m above sea level. The power index of the differential energy spectrum is (2.98±0.49) in the energy region from 2TeV to 20TeV. The vertical flux of hadrons with Ehγ≥3TeV is =(400±50)/year﹒m2﹒sr, their attenuation length in air is (104±16)g/cm2, the mean interaction lengths of hadrons and mesons in Pb are (15.3±3.0)cm and (18.6±4.7)cm respectively, and the ratio of meson-to nucleon in cosmic ray hadrons on Mt. Kambala is (1.0±0.4).
