Negative Muon Charge Excess in Cosmic Showers Initiated by Neutrons
The well known charge positive excess of muons in cosmic rays has been reproduced at various altitudes, using the CORSIKA simulation program with a classical primary spectrum dominated by protons. In the case of simulations with primary neutrons, the excess of negative charged muons appears as a consequence of isospin conservation, charge conservation and charge exchange mechanisms; as it could...
متن کاملRadio Pulses from Cosmic Ray Air Showers
The first experiment in which radio emission was detected from high energy particles is described. An array of dipoles was operated by a team of British and Irish physicists in 1964-5 at the Jodrell Bank Radio Observatory in conjunction with a simple air shower trigger. The array operated at 44 MHz with 2.75 MHz bandwidth. Out of 4,500 triggers a clear bandwidth-limited radio pulse was seen in ...
متن کاملMeasurement of Muon Lifetime and Mass Using Cosmic Ray Showers
In this experiment, we used a scintillation mechanism to measure the lifetime and the mass of the muon with data collected from cosmic ray showers. We determined the lifetime with a QVT pulse analyzer in t-mode to bin the times between a muon entry and its decay in the scintillator. Our final data was a plot of the decay rate vs. bin number. From that curve, we calculated the muon lifetime to b...
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 QCD Black Disk Limit in Cosmic Ray Air Showers
We discuss particle production in the high energy limit of QCD. Due to a large gluon density, the interaction reaches the black disk limit and the projectile is resolved into its partonic structure at the saturation scale. This leads to suppression of forward particle production and hereby to a faster absorption of cosmic ray air showers. This property is most suitable for the distinction of ev...
