The phenomenon of cluster production in nucleon–nucleus interactions at ultrahigh energies [Formula: see text] has been investigated using the available cosmic-ray data. The rapidity gap distributions of charged particles in a nondiffractive region of the cross section are found to support the Snider two-channel model as opposed to the model of Quigg, Pirilla, and Thomas. The variation of cluster density and cluster size with the primary energy, multiplicity of shower particles, and nature of the target mass has also been studied.

The interaction of high-energy leptons with components of Dark Matter in a hypercolor model is considered. The possibility of detection, using IceCube secondary neutrinos produced by quasielastic scattering of cosmic ray electrons off hidden mass particles, is investigated. The dominant contribution to the cross section results from diagrams with scalar exchanges. A strong dependence of the total cross section on the Dark Matter components mass is also found.

One of the characteristics of longitudinal development of extensive air showers is the number of charged particles and depth of shower maximum in extensive air showers as a function of primary energy, which is often used to reconstruct the elemental composition of primary cosmic rays. Studying of extensive air shower characteristics was performed by investigating the longitudinal development parameters depending on Heitler model for different primary particles. The simulation of the number of charged particles and depth of shower maximum (NandXmax) in extensive air showers of particle cascades was performed using AIRES code for SIBYLL hadronic model for different primary particles like electron, positron, gamma quanta and iron nuclei at the energy range 1014-1019eV. The comparison between the simulated longitudinal development ofNandXmaxusing SIBYLL hadronic model with two hadronic models (QGSJET99 ans SIBYLL16) has shown an opportunity for determination of cosmic ray cascade interactions in extensive air showers.

Short Range Correlations

Results on the single particle rapidity distributions and rapidity–gap correlations among hadrons produced in 50 GeV/c π−-meson and 400 GeV/c proton collisions with emulsion nuclei have been investigated. Study of the rapidity distributions reveals that the projectile fragmentation is mass independent and the target fragmentation depends upon the target mass. From the rapidity–gap distributions, we find evidence for short-range correlations that indicate that the secondary particles are produced via cluster formations and each cluster should consist of at least three charged particles.

An experiment to measure the cross section for high-energy cosmic-ray neutrons and charged nuclear-active particle interactions with Pb and C nuclei has been carried out at an altitude of 2 000 m. Large spark chambers were used in a detector which selected neutrons and charged nuclear-active particles in the region of 100 GeV. The results are σπ(nPb) = (1.65 ± 0.17) barn, σπ(nC) = (0.204 ± 0.02) barn, σπ(πPb) = (1.53 ± 0.17) barn, σπ(πC) = (0.168 ± 0.017) barn.

AbstractThe cross-section is computed for non-relativistic charged particles (like electrons and ions) scattered by electromagnetic radiation confined to a finite region (like the focal region of optical laser beams). The cross-section exhibits maxima at scattering angles given by the energy and momentum conservation in multi-photon absorption or emission processes. For convenience, a potential scattering is included and a comparison is made with the well-known Kroll-Watson scattering formula. The scattering process addressed in this paper is distinct from the process dealt with in previous studies, where the scattering is immersed in the radiation field.

Ionization Calorimeter

The nuclear interactions of nucleons and pions at an energy of 200 GeV have been studied using an ionization calorimeter, cloud chamber, and hodoscope units. It has been found that the showers which are asymmetrical backward have the two-peak angular distribution (on a log tan θ plot) and, in the center-of-mass system, the charged particles and neutrals appear in the remote and front hemispheres respectively. The showers which are asymmetrical forward are produced mainly by primary pions and are symmetrical in the system where the target mass is close to the pion mass. It is suggested that in the cosmic-ray energy range (e.g. at energies ~10 GeV), after interaction, a pion retains a considerable part of the primary energy, but may change its charge and be transmuted into a π0 meson. Such an assumption makes it possible to explain the considerable portion of the energy transferred to a photon in the pion interactions.

Abstract Photoionization has been used to produce ions of N2, O2. and CO in definite excited states. Deactivating collisions of these ions with molecular gases were described in paper I, where the cross sections of ions with thermal velocity are given for various electronic and vibrational states. By application of an electric field the charged particles are accelerated yielding information on the influence of the kinetic energy of the collision partners on these deactivating collisions. The cross section is found to follow an exponential law σ ~ E-α, with a varying between 0.34 and 0 41 for the different excited stales of the molecular ions. The observations were carried out for a range of kinetic energies from the thermal energy up to 6 eV maximum. This simple exponential law is followed for kinetic energies up to at least 2 eV. At higher energies slight deviations were found to occur

In the present work, extensive air showers (EAS) effects are described by estimating the longitudinal development model of EAS at very high energies of various cosmic ray particles. The longitudinal development was simulated for charged particles such as gamma, charged pions and charged muons at very high energies 1017, 1018 and 1019eV. The simulation was performed using an air shower simulator system (AIRES) version 19.04.0. The effect of primary particles, energies, thinning energy and zenith angle (θ) on the number of charged particles (longitudinal development) produced in the EAS was taken into account. The rapprochement of the estimated longitudinal development of the charged particles such as the charged muons and charged pions with the experimental measurements (AUGER experiment) that gave a good agreement for primary proton at the fixed primary energy 1019eV for θ =0˚.
