The GRAPES-3 experiment observes extensive air showers using a high-density array of scintillation detectors and a large area tracking muon detector. We have studied the relationship between the muon multiplicity distribution and shower size for the GRAPES-3 data taken during the period of 2000 - 2003. Monte Carlo simulations using CORSIKA code were performed to extract the spectra for vario ... More

Properties of high-energy hadronic interactions can be studied by measurements of the attenuation lengths of hadrons in air showers. The hadronic, electromagnetic, and muonic components of air showers are registered with the KASCADE-Grande experiment. Different methods are applied to derive attenuation lengths of hadrons from the measurements. a) The flux of unaccompanied hadrons at ground l ... More

The current status and prospects of deducing the proton-air cross section from fluorescence telescope measurements of extensive air showers is discussed. As it is not possible to observe the point of first interaction, X_1, directly, other observables closely linked to X_1 must be inferred from the measured longitudinal profiles. This introduces a dependence on the models used to describe the ... More

Motivated by the importance of the measurement of p+C and pi+C interactions for tuning hadronic interaction models used in neutrino flux and extensive air shower simulations, we analyze pion production in p+C and pi+C reactions at 12GeV/c measured in the fixed target experiment HARP at CERN-PS. We present momentum spectra of positive and negative pions in the momentum range from 0.5GeV/c to 8. ... More

We present proton-air inelastic cross-section measurement at ultra-high energy using all available data collected by the High Resolution Fly's Eye stereo fluorescence detector. A significantly improved data reconstruction procedure allows us to minimize the data quality cuts. This increases the data statistics available for the measurement and consequently reduces the statistical error. T ... More

Cosmic ray physics in the 10^(12)-10^(15) eV primary energy range is among the main scientific goals of the ARGO-YBJ experiment. The detector, located in the Cosmic Ray Observatory of Yangbajing (Tibet, China) at 4300m a.s.l., is a full coverage Extensive Air Shower array consisting of a carpet of Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC) of about 5800m^2. The apparatus layout, performance and locati ... More

The study of the energy dependence of the depth of shower maximum and of the muon content in high energy cosmic ray showers are two widely used methods for the derivation of cosmic ray composition. An alternative interpretation of the energy dependence of these two observables is a change in the features of hadronic interactions at high energy. In this contribution we show that the string per ... More
