Methods of Determination of the Energy and Mass of Primary Cosmic Ray Particles at Extensive Air Shower Energies
Measurements of cosmic ray particles at energies above E >∼ 5 · 10 14 eV are performed by large area ground based air shower experiments. Only they provide the collection power required for obtaining sufficient statistics at the low flux levels involved. In this review we briefly outline the physics and astrophysics interests of such measurements and discuss in more detail various experimental ...
متن کاملNucleus - Air Interactions for Extensive Air Showers Experiments at Ultrahigh Energies ∗
The HIJING and VENUS models of relativistic hadron-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions are used to study interactions of proton and nuclei with nitrogen , specific for the extensive air shower developments initiated by cosmic rays in the atmosphere. The transverse energy,transverse momenta and secondary particles produced spectra as well as their energy and mass dependence were investigated ...
متن کاملHadronic Interactions at Cosmic Ray Energies
General physics of very high energy hadronic interactions is discussed. Special attention is payed to the contribution of semihard processes to the interaction dynamics and to the role of parton shadowing and parton density saturation. In particular, the implementation of non-linear interaction effects in the QGSJET-II model is discussed in detail. The predictions of the model are compared to s...
متن کاملSensitivity of large cosmic ray air shower experiments for new physics searches
Searches for physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics are performed at accelerators worldwide. Although having poorer detection capabilities and large beam uncertainties, ultra high energy cosmic ray (UHECR) experiments present a unique opportunity to look for new physics far beyond the TeV. Nearly horizontal energetic neutrinos, seeing a large atmospheric target volume and with ne...
متن کاملThe sensitivity of cosmic ray air shower experiments for excited lepton detection
In models with substructure in the fermionic sector, excited fermion states are expected. Excited leptons could be produced in the interaction of high energy quasihorizontal cosmic neutrinos with the atmosphere via neutral and charged current processes, νN → ν∗X and νN → l∗X. The hadronic component X, and possibly part of the excited lepton decay products, would originate an extensive air showe...
