Description

Simple analytical expression fsigma sub(γN) for any parameter Λ2 of the inelastic form factor F(t) = (1 + 1/Λ2)-1 is obtained. The value Λ2 = 0.4 GeV2 from the accelerator data is determined. The available cosmic ray experiment results are analyzed to determine the dependence of the cross-section on the effective number of nucleons Asub(eff), that interact in nuclei. The present data give Asub(eff) = Asup(n), where n = 0.92 +- 0.02 in the energy interval 1011-1012 eV, if the accelerator value sigma sub(γN) = = 100 μb in this energy region is extrapolated.

Abstract (German)

Es wird ein einfacher analytischer Ausdruck fuer den Zusammenhang zwischen dem Myon-Kern-Wechselwirkungsquerschnitt einerseits und dem photonuklearen Querschnitt sigma sub(γN) Formfaktor F(t) = (1 + t/Λ2)-1 erhalten. Der Wert Λ2 = 0,4 GeV2 wird aus den Beschleunigerwerten bestimmt. Die veroeffentlichten Angaben ueber Versuche im Zusammenhang mit der kosmischen Strahlung werden analysiert, um die Abhaengigkeit des Queschnitts von der Effektivzahl der Nukleonen Asub(eff.), die in Kernen in Wechselwirkung treten, zu bestimmen. Die bisher vorliegenden Daten ergeben Asub(eff.) = Asup(n), wobei n im Energieintervall 1011-1012 eV gleich 0,92 +- 0,02 ist, wenn man den Beschleunigerwert sigma sub(γN) = 100 μb in dieser Energiezone extrapoliert.
