Study of the Extensive Air Shower Size and the Energy Spectra of Cosmic Ray Muons at Sea Level
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper I presented the results obtained for the differential energy spectra of muons at sea level determined as a function of three zenith angles. I calculated the shower size and the number of muons per square meter as a function of the lateral distance from the center of the shower. The data interpretation provide the most significant physical information for understanding the main problems in cosmic ray physics. The problem of the energy dependence of the muon intensity at sea level is in this respect a specific goal to which the present article is devoted.

A study on the lateral distribution of Cherenkov light in extensive air showers
The dependence of the lateral distribution of Cherenkov light in simulated extensive air showers to the energy and the mass of the primary cosmic rays has been studied. It has been shown that a previous claim about mass independent proportionality of shower energy to the total Cherenkov photon number is not valid in energies below EEAS ~ 1014 eV. We have found that the core distance of the so c...
متن کاملAngular deviation of secondary charge particles in 1014-1016 eV extensive air showers: Constrains on application of hodoscopes
Deviation angles of secondary electrons and muons in simulated extensive air showers were studied. The angles have wide distribution, whose width depends on energy cuts imposed on shower particles. In this work, variation of deviation angles with the energy of secondary particles, shower energy, primary direction, and core distance was investigated. The results put limitations on application ...
متن کاملGeomagnetic Field Eect over Azimuth Anisotropy of Cosmic Rays via Study of Primary Particles
Geomagnetic field is a one of the candidates for creation of anisotropy in azimuth distribution of extensive air showers over the entered cosmic rays to the atmosphere. Here we present the question: Is there any azimuth anisotropy flux in the upper level of the atmosphere due to the geomagnetic field over the entered cosmic-rays? The obtained answer is: yes. This investigation showed an agreeme...
متن کاملStudying High pT Muons in Cosmic-Ray Air Showers
Most cosmic-ray air shower arrays have focused on detecting electromagnetic shower particles and low energy muons. A few groups (most notably MACRO + EASTOP and SPASE + AMANDA) have studied the high energy muon component of showers. However, these experiments had small solid angles, and did not study muons far from the core. The IceTop + IceCube combination, with its 1 km muon detection area ca...
متن کاملeV cosmic rays by studying the ratio muon size to shower size of KASCADE-Grande data
KASCADE-Grande is an air-shower observatory devoted to the study of cosmic rays with energies in the range 10−10 eV. In KASCADE-Grande, different detector systems allow independent measurements of the number of muons (Nμ) and charged particles (Nch) of air showers, which are the basis for several energy and composition studies of cosmic rays. In this contribution, a composition analysis using t...
