Is there new physics in the ''mini-Centauro'' events
- 1. Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Homi Bhabha Road, Bombay 400 005, India
Description
We demonstrate, by detailed Monte Carlo simulation with standard interaction parameters as input, that the ''mini-Centauro'' events reported by the Brazil-Japan group can be understood as due to fluctuations in the high-energy hadron and electromagnetic components of extensive air showers generated by primary cosmic-ray protons. Thus it is not necessary to invoke a new type of interaction to understand them
