19 Jul 2005 | | Subject: | hep-ph | | Abstract: | Most QCD models of high energy collisions predict that the inelasticity $K$ is an increasing function of the energy. We argue that, due to percolation of strings, this behaviour will change and, at $sqrt{s} simeq 10^4$ GeV, the inelasticity will start to decrease with the energy. This has straightforward consequences in high energy cosmic ray physics: 1) the relative depth of the shower maximum $ar{X}$ grows faster with energy above the knee; 2) the energy measurements of ground array experiments at GZK energies could be overestimated. | | Source: | arXiv, hep-ph/0507227 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
