Monte Carlo simulation of the Tien-Shan effect

  • 1. AN SSSR, Moscow. Fizicheskij Inst.

Description

Monte Carlo simulation of the Tien-Shan effect is carried out. Interaction between hadrons with the energy above 10 TeV and the nuclei of lead atoms with the cross sections ∼ 40% of inelastic interaction is shown to result in production of decaying (unstable) particles (Λc-baryon and D-meson), extracting the main share of interacting hadron energy. These particles production results in irregular energy dependence of the mean-free path for absorption of energy flux of hadron component of a wide atmosphere shower (Tien-Shan effect)
