Sea Level Muon Spectrum Derived from Bugaev Model Using the Primary Cosmic Ray Energy Spectrum of Grigorov et al

In a recent paper BHATTACHARYYA has derived the pion and kaon production spectra in the atmosphere using a form of the primary nucleon energy spectrum of the measurements of GRIGOROV et al. and the interaction model of BUGAEV et al. The sea level muon spectrum derived from these meson spectra agrees with the magnetic spectrograph data of ALLKOFER et al. and AYRE et al. In this report a critical analysis of the paper has been made and some obvious mistakes in the formulation have been pointed out. The formulation of BUGAEV et al. and the data of GRIGOROV at al. have been misinterpreted by BHATTACHARYYA . The corrected results have been properly interpreted in this report.

Dao Scaling Model and Sea Level Cosmic Ray Muon Spectrum from Goddard Space Flight Group Measured Primary Proton Spectrum

A new type of scaling model for p + p → π^? + X inclusive reactions, proposed by DAO et al., is applied to derive the sea level muon spectrum. The nucleon spectrum data of Goddard Space Flight Group were taken as input. It is found that the sea level muon spectrum depends explicitly on the average value of the FEYNMAN variable x whose most probable value is estimated to be 0.18.

仔细分析了近年来怀柔广延大气簇射阵列记录的65万个大气簇射事例,得到了簇射Size(即荷电总粒子数)谱和10¹⁵—5×10¹⁶eV能段的初级宇宙线微分能谱.此谱呈明显的、平滑过渡的“膝”样结构,拐点在3×10¹⁵eV附近.除了“膝”较平滑不象明野谱那样尖锐拐折而外,怀柔谱在绝对流强和“膝”的位置上都与日本明野组吻合得很好.在银河磁场刚度截止模型框架下,怀柔实验Size谱界定的宇宙线质子谱拐折能量Ec的取值范围在160到240TeV之间.     

The Study of Primary Cosmic Ray Mass Composition Around the

The lg N_e-N_μ relationship has been studied from 4.4×10⁴ events (total observation time is 2.9×10⁶s)collected from Mt. Liang Wang Array (24.5°N, 102.9°E, 2720m above sea level). In order to study the mass composition at the knee, Monte-Carlo simulations for the EAS development and detection under same event selection criteria as used in the experimental data have been performed. The result shows that the mass composition of primary cosmic rays has no obvious change and the dominant component is light nuclei around the knee.     

Rising Inelastic Cross Section and its Contribution to Steepening of the Cosmic Ray Energy Spectrum

Calculations have been carried out to investigate the contribution of an increasing total cross section to steepening of the cosmic ray energy spectrum at very high energies (E ? 10¹² eV). Our results suggest that increasing total cross section contributes only a part to the steepening of primary energy spectrum at very high energies even if the composition is pure primary iron flux.

Simulation of the Galactic Cosmic Ray Shadow of the Sun

The cosmic-ray particles of TeV-regime, outside the solar system are blocked in their way to the Earth, a deficit of particles is observed corresponding to the location of the Sun known as the Sun shadow. The center of the Sun shadow is shifted from its nominal position due to the presence of magnetic fields in interplanetary space,and this shift is used indirectly as a probe to study the solar magnetic field that is difficult to measure otherwise.A detailed Monte Carlo simulation of galactic cosmic-ray propagation in the Earth–Sun system is carried out to disentangle the cumulative effects of solar, interplanetary and geomagnetic fields. The shadowing effects and the displacements results of the Sun shadow in different solar activities are reproduced and discussed.

Cosmic Antiproton Spectrum at the Top of the Atmosphere Derived from the New Scaling Model

The new scaling variable model explains the scaling behavior of p + p → p + X inclusive reactions at ISR energies. The cosmic antiproton spectrum has been derived from this model using the primary proton spectrum of RYAN et al. The derived antiproton-proton flux ratio lies within the upper limit value of BOGOMOLOV et al. and CHEN. The estimated antiproton spectrum follows the relation where the antiproton energy E_p is expressed in GeV and the intensity in units (cm² sec sr GeV)^?1.
