for extensive air showers
The new hadronic Monte Carlo model QGSJET-II is applied for extensive air shower (EAS) calculations. The obtained results are compared to the predictions of the original QGSJET and of the SIBYLL 2.1 interaction models. It is shown that non-linear effects change substantially model predictions for hadron-nucleus interactions and produce observable effects for calculated EAS characteristics. Fina...
متن کاملExtensive Air Showers and the Physics of High Energy Interactions
Extensive Air Showers are still the only source of information on primary cosmic rays and their interactions at energies above PeV. However, this information is hidden inside the multiplicative character of the cascading process. Inspite of the great experimental and theoretical efforts the results of different studies are often ambiguous and even conflicting. These controversies can partly be ...
متن کاملExtensive Air Showers from Ultra High Energy Gluinos
We study the proposal that the cosmic ray primaries above the Greisen-ZatsepinKuzmin (GZK) cutoff are gluino-containing hadrons (g̃-hadrons). We describe the interaction of g̃-hadrons with nucleons in the framework of the Gribov-Regge approach using a modified version of the hadronic interaction model QGSJET for the generations of Extensive Air Showers (EAS). There are two mass windows marginally...
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 کاملNuclei cross sections in Extensive Air Showers
Abstract Cross sections for proton inelastic collision with different nuclei are described within the Glauber approximation. The significant difference between approximate “Glauber” formula and exact calculations with geometrical scaling assumption is shown for very high energy cross section calculations. According to obtained results values of proton–proton cross section reported by the Akeno ...
