Findings
Provides a detailed calculation of atmospheric hadronic fluxes.
Relates nucleon-air collision data to nucleon-proton interactions.
Offers a new framework for cosmic ray flux modeling.
Abstract
We present in this paper a calculation of the hadronic flux in the atmosphere. Using an iterative leading particle model and the Glauber model, we relate the moment of the leading particle distribution in nucleon-air collisions with the respective one in nucleon-proton collisions. In this way, we obtain a description of the nucleonic and hadronic fluxes in the atmosphere.
