چکیده
The detection of high energy cosmic ray interactions at the medium depth underground is studied. Detected high energy muons carry information about the initial interaction. This might reveal the effects resulting from creation of quark gluon plasma at high energy interactions of iron nuclei contained in cosmic rays with the air. submitted to Astroparticle Physics ∗) e-mail:[email protected]

Can We Observe the Quark Gluon Plasma in Cosmic Ray Showers ?
The possibility of detection of some features of high energy particle interactions with detectors placed at medium depths underground through studies on high energy muons is studied. These muons carry information about the early interactions occurring during the development of the hadron cascade near the top of the atmosphere. They might reveal the effects resulting from creation of quark gluon...
متن کاملA 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 کاملSignals of Phase Transition in Atmospheric Showers
We discuss collective effects like percolation, quark gluon plasma, or string fusion and their effect on the longitudinal development of high energy showers in air. It is shown that iron–air showers could develop more slowly than expected and produce the observed change in the slope of X max at the highest energies. It is expected that the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the Large Ha...
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 کاملModeling Magnetic Field in Heavy ion Collisions Using Two Different Nuclear Charge Density Distributions
By studying the properties of matter during heavy-ion collisions, a better understanding of the Quark-Gluon plasma is possible. One of the main areas of this study is the calculation of the magnetic field, particularly how the values of conductivity affects this field and how the field strength changes with proper time. In matching the theoretical calculations with results obtained in lab, two diffe...
