| Abstract: | A method is proposed for measuring energies of particles in the region above 1 TeV. The method is based on detecting the greatest specific energy deposition in hadronic cascades propagating in dense matter. This makes it possible to improve accuracy in measuring energy by thin calorimeters in studying the energy spectra of high-energy cosmic rays at high altitudes. Attainable accuracies in measuring energy are considered for protons and He nuclei. The results of a relevant simulation are compared with the results of a satellite-borne experiment with Kosmos-1713. |
