| Abstract: | The observed neutral to charge ratio in unaccompanied atmospheric hadron fluxes is used to improve the cosmic ray lower bound on the p-air inelastic cross section between 0.5 and 20 TeV. The conclusion drawn about the magnitude of continued increase of σpp between 2 and 20 TeV depends on the model relation between σpp and σp-air. |
