Gravity effects in inclined air showers induced by cosmic neutrinos
The Randall-Sundrum model with a small curvature is considered in which five-dimensional Planck scale lies in the TeV region, and a spectrum of Kaluza-Klein gravitons reminds that in one flat extra dimension. The cross sections for interactions of ultra-high energy cosmic neutrinos with nucleons are calculated. It is shown that effects related with massive graviton excitations can be detected i...
متن کاملRadio emission of highly inclined cosmic ray air showers measured with LOPES
Aims. The capability of radio antenna arrays to measure cosmic ray air showers with very large zenith angles is explored. This is important, since a possible neutrino detection has to fulfill two requirements. First: antennas should be able to detect very inclined cosmic ray air showers, and second: it should be possible to estimate the distance to the shower maximum, since neutrinos are most l...
متن کاملMuon Charge Information from Geomagnetic Deviation in Inclined Extensive Air Showers
We propose to extract the charge information of high energy muons in very inclined extensive air showers by analyzing their relative lateral positions in the shower transverse plane. We calculate the muon lateral deviation under the geomagnetic field and compare it to dispersive deviations from other causes. By our criterion of resolvability, positive and negative muons with energies above 104 ...
متن کامل30TH INTERNATIONAL COSMIC RAY CONFERENCE Muon spectra reconstructed from inclined air showers measured by KASCADE- Grande
Inclined air showers (i.e. showers with zenith angle above 40 degrees) are registered by the KASCADE-Grande experiment, which is designed to address fundamental questions about the origin, composition and acceleration mechanisms of primary cosmic rays between 10 and 10 eV. Despite the aggravate reconstruction due to the thin scintillation detectors used in KASCADE-Grande these inclined events a...
متن کاملThe effect of atmospheric attenuation on inclined cosmic ray air showers
The increasing cosmic ray statistics collected by present experiments and the future prospects with new large arrays demand accurate calculations of the extensive air shower parameters (EAS). The energy of the primary particle is estimated by ground arrays fitting a lateral distribution function (LDF) to the particle densities at a given observing level. However, the lack of appropriate paramet...
