Consequences of the LHC Results in the Interpretation of gamma ray families and Giant EAS Data

TL;DR

This paper explores how recent LHC findings, indicating higher particle densities, influence the interpretation of gamma ray families and extensive air showers, leading to revised models with increased secondary particle multiplicities.

Contribution

It introduces new guidelines with higher secondary multiplicities in models to better interpret gamma ray families and large EAS based on LHC results.

Findings

Higher pseudo rapidity densities observed at CMS.

Models with increased secondary multiplicities better explain gamma ray families.

Enhanced penetration power in EAS models aligns with LHC data.

Abstract

The earliest results of CMS exhibit central pseudo rapidity densities larger than the predictions of the different models. Introducing on this basis new guidelines with larger multiplicities of secondaries in the models implemented in the simulations, we examine the consequences in $\gamma$ ray families (spikes in rapidity distribution, coplanar emission) and very large EAS (penetration power in the atmosphere)
