Cosmic rays in the atmosphere

- Summary

Abstract

As we discussed in the previous chapter, primary cosmic rays interact with the atmosphere and produce fluxes of secondary, tertiary, etc. particles. All these particles together create a cascade, called an air shower. In principle, measurements of air shower particles can be interpreted in terms of the energy spectrum and the composition of the primary cosmic rays. The interpretation of these measurements requires one additional step — calculation of the fluxes generated by a cosmic ray nucleus of mass A, charge Z and energy E.
