论文摘要
通过能量宇宙射线与大气的相互作用产生的空气淋浴是在任何人为粒子加速器以外的能量上研究颗粒物理物理物理学的绝佳替代方法。为此,有必要首先确定主要宇宙射线(及其能量)的质量组成。现有的高能量相互作用模型都无法在整个能量和天顶空间空间上相干地繁殖所有空气淋浴可观察物。尽管它尝试了所有可能的组合来使宇宙射线质量组成。该提议概述了研究高能量颗粒相互作用并确定宇宙射线的能量光谱和质量组成的一种自洽策略。该策略涉及不同粒子加速器和天体物理学实验的参与。这对于覆盖整个宇宙射线能量范围和较大的淋浴可观测值以探测高能量相互作用模型很重要。
Air showers, produced by the interaction of energetic cosmic rays with the atmosphere, are an excellent alternative to study particle physics at energies beyond any human-made particle accelerator. For that, it is necessary to identify first the mass composition of the primary cosmic ray (and its energy). None of the existing high energy interaction models have been able to reproduce coherently all air shower observables over the entire energy and zenith angle phase space. This is despite having tried all possible combinations for the cosmic ray mass composition. This proposal outlines a self-consistent strategy to study high energy particle interactions and identify the energy spectra and mass composition of cosmic rays. This strategy involves the participation of different particle accelerators and astrophysics experiments. This is important to cover the entire cosmic ray energy range and a larger phase-space of shower observables to probe the high energy interaction models.
