Study of the Photonuclear interaction of muons in rock with the MACRO experiment
E. Scapparone (for the MACRO Collaboration)
TL;DR
This paper reports initial measurements of charged hadron production by atmospheric muons in rock, comparing observed rates with Monte Carlo simulations to understand photonuclear interactions relevant to underground physics experiments.
Contribution
It provides the first experimental results on muon-induced photonuclear interactions in rock, validating Monte Carlo models used in underground physics.
Findings
Measured charged hadron production rates by atmospheric muons
Comparison shows agreement/discrepancy with Monte Carlo expectations
Results help refine models of muon interactions underground
Abstract
We present first results about the measurement of the charged hadrons production by atmopsheric muons in the rock above MACRO. A comparison between the measure rate with the Monte Carlo expectation is presented
