78. Hadronic interactions and extensive air showers

Dr Ralph Engel (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT))

08/07/2016, 09:00

Thanks to new data from LHC and fixed-target experiments and an improved understanding of the phenomenology of extensive air showers, significant progress has been made in predicting composition-relevant observables. The current status of predictions for air showers is reviewed and discussed on the basis of general features of hadronic multiparticle production. Implications for the...

17. Muon density measurements for the light and heavy mass groups of cosmic rays at the KASCADE-Grande observatory

Dr Juan Carlos Arteaga Velazquez (Universidad Michoacana)

KASCADE-Grande was an air-shower experiment aimed to investigate cosmic rays between 10^16 and and 10^18 eV. The instrument was located at the site of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany at an altitude of 110 m a.s.l. and covered an area of 0.5 km^2 . KASCADE-Grande consisted of several detector systems dedicated to measure different components of the cosmic ray induced air showers,...

20. Testing hadronic interactions with the Pierre Auger Observatory

Mr Francisco Diogo (LIP)

The most energetic particles in the universe - ultra-high energy cosmic rays – interact with the atmosphere creating air showers whose charactristics are sensitive to the primary mass composition and hadronic interaction properties. Currently, these showers are our only window to test the properties of collisions at energies beyond the reach of human-made accelerators. The Pierre Auger...

69. LHCf Highlights

Alessia Rita Tricomi (CT)

The goal of the LHCf experiment is to provide precise measurements of the spectra of neutral particles produced in the very forward region at LHC. These measurements are of fundamental importance since provide a calibration tool to tune the hadronic interaction models used by ground-based cosmic rays experiments up to the highest energy currently available at accelerator facilities. In order...
