Nuclear Interactions Of Super High Energy Cosmic-rays Observed In Mountain Emulsion Chambers
Here we present a summary of joint discussions on the results of three mountain experiments with large-scale emulsion chambers, at Pamir, Mt. Fuji and Chacaltaya. Observations cover gamma quanta, hadrons and their clusters (called "families"). The following topics are covered, concerning the characteristics of nuclear interactions the energy region 1014-1016 eV: (i) rapid dissipation seen in atmospheric diffusion of high-energy cosmic-rays; (ii) multiplicity and Pt increase in produced pi-mesons in the fragmentation region; (iii) existence of large-Pt jets, (iv) extremely hadron-rich family of the Centauro type; (v) exotic phenomena in the extremely high energy region beyond 1016 eV. © 1981.1911125(1977) Acta Univ.

Proton-Nucleus Interactions at Tevatron Energy
Proton-nucleus interactions at Tevatron highest energy are studied by using the different target nuclei (aluminum, copper, tin and tungsten). Particle production mechanism in pA collision can be studied through target mass dependence on angular distribution of secondary charged particle as well as multiplicity distribution with various target nuclei of aluminum, copper, tin and tungsten. Considering the result of previous 400 GeV/c proton-nucleus experiment by means of nuclear emulsion chamber, we can also investigate energy dependence of various quantities such as momenta in multiplicity distribution, rapidity density and absorption cross sections. We propose to perform same kind of exposure as previous experiment but by 800 GeV proton beam

Cascade Showers Originated in Proton-Nucleus Collisions
Cascade showers originated in nuclear showers occurred by the proton beam with the highest energy in an emulsion chamber will be investigated for their longitudinal development and lateral structure. The results will be compared with that of 400 GeV proton (No.434) and that of 300 GeV negative pions (No.506). The cascade showers originated in nuclear shower have been studying by using data of the emulsion chamber exposed to 400 GeV proton beam (No.434) and 300 GeV negative pion beam (No.506). The purpose of these experiment was to observe the longitudinal development and the lateral structure of the nuclear cascade shower, and the difference of their interactions. We propose to perform the same kind of experiment as the above by exposing emulsion chambers to the proton beam of Tevatron (800 GeV). We can investigate the difference of interactions due to their energies through the evidence of these nuclear cascade showers. Especially, these inelasticity distributions to photons in previous energies could not be presented with good accuracy for the bias of low energy side, but this point in the experiment will become better by using data from the proton beam of Tevatron
Observation of associated bottom production and decay in a high-energy hadron interaction
Production and decay of a pair of bottom mesons, one charged and one neutral, have been observed in a 200-TeV cosmic-ray helium interaction in an emulsion chamber. Analysis of the event indicates that the charged meson decays most probably via a b quark transition, which would imply a nonzero Vb element in the Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix. The simplest decay scheme consistent with the data is B-Ds. The neutral decay is interpreted as B0D-e+. © 1990 The American Physical Society
High energy cosmic ray events of ultra-relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions
Cosmic ray ultra-relativistic nucleus-nucleus collision events in the TeV/A region are analyzed. The average transverse momentum of non-peripheral events is examined and the breakdown of the limiting behaviour of this quantity is observed in events with high energy density. Close pairing or clustering of tracks is observed in many events. Possible explanations of the phenomena are discussed. © 1986
Energy spectra of cosmic rays above 1 TeV per nucleon
Direct measurements of cosmic-ray nuclei above 1 TeV per nucleon have been performed in a series of balloon-borne experiments with emulsion chambers. The observed all-particle spectrum above 20 TeV is consistent with the results of the Proton satellite and many air shower experiments. The proton spectrum is consistent with a power law having an index of 2.76 ± 0.09 up to at least 100 TeV, but an overabundance of helium by a factor of 2 above 2 TeV per nucleon is found when compared with the extrapolation from the low energies. For heavy elements (C through Fe), the intensities around 1 TeV per nucleon are consistent, within the statistical errors, with the extrapolation from lower energy data using the Spacelab 2 spectral indices. An enhancement for the medium-heavy components (C through Ca) above 200 TeV is indicated. The mean mass above 50 TeV indicates slightly higher values than the results of the air shower experiments
