Extensive 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 کاملEnergy Release in Air Showers
A simulation study of the energy released in air due to the development of an extensive air shower has been carried out using the CORSIKA code. The contributions to the energy release from different particle species and energies as well as the typical particle densities are investigated. Special care is taken of particles falling below the energy threshold of the simulation which contribute abo...
متن کاملDescription of Cherenkov light production in high-energy air showers
The shower simulation code CORSIKA has been used to investigate the electron energy and angular distributions in high-energy showers. Based on the universality of both distributions, we develop an analytical description of Cherenkov light emission in extensive air showers, which provides the total number and angular distribution of photons. The parameterisation can be used e.g. to calculate the...
متن کاملThe structure of ionization showers in air generated by electrons with 1 MeV energy or less
Ionization showers are created in the Earth’s atmosphere by cosmic particles or by run-away electrons from pulsed discharges or by the decay of radioactive elements like radon and krypton. These showers provide pre-ionization that can play a role for discharge inception or evolution; radioactive admixtures in plasma technology use the same effect. While the CORSIKA program provides cross sectio...
متن کاملMeasurement of the Angular Distribution of Electrons
3 We present the rst measurement of the electron angular distribution parameter 2 in W ! ee events produced in proton-antiproton collisions as a function of the W boson transverse momentum. Our analysis is based on data collected using the DD detector during the 1994{1995 Fermilab Tevatron run. We compare our results with next-to-leading order perturbative QCD, which predicts an angular distrib...
