Findings
Hadron-hadron interactions remain dominated by QCD.
New interactions can cause observable qualitative differences.
Potential signatures for beyond standard model physics in air showers.
Abstract
We study the role new gauge interactions in extensions of the standard model play in air showers initiated by ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays. Hadron-hadron events remain dominated by quantum chromodynamics, while projectiles and/or targets from beyond the standard model permit us to see qualitative differences arising due to the new interactions.
