Abstract
Applying universality in the development of cascade processes for the research of high energy cosmic particles in space experiments
Highlights
Research of the characteristics of cosmic rays (CR) on the basis of “direct” measurements outside the atmosphere on spacecraft or high-altitude balloons can allow us to solve many problems of particle physics, cosmic ray physics and astrophysics
Great hopes were pinned on the ATIC [3] and CREAM [4] experiments, contradictory data were obtained from the spectral indices of the basic elements of cosmic rays, which do not provide a consistent picture of the processes occurring in the sources of cosmic rays and their propagation to the Earth
As a result of the research of the various parameters, characterizing the development of the cascade process, it is revealed that the determination of the energy accuracy can be essentially increased if we use the correlation curve of the dependences of particles number, log Ne(d1), at the observation level, d1, versus a relation of the number of particles d N = log Ne(d1) − log Ne(d2) at two levels, (d1 and d2), divided by a layer of an absorber
Summary
Research of the characteristics of cosmic rays (CR) on the basis of “direct” measurements outside the atmosphere on spacecraft or high-altitude balloons can allow us to solve many problems of particle physics, cosmic ray physics and astrophysics. This region has a significant interest and dynamism to the development of theoretical and experimental studies worldwide [1]. The huge weight of the installation greatly complicates the possibility of using such a device in space experiments In this regard, a more promising approach, for determining the energy on the basis of direct measurements of CR, is the use of a thin calorimeter.
