Energy Balance in Extensive Air Showers
Journal Article
·
· American Journal of Physics
The production of an extensive air shower is discussed, starting with the elementary nuclear interaction and proceeding to the development of the shower components. Mention is made of experimental methods used to obtain information about the components, particularly with regard to the energy. Emphasis is placed on the division of the primary particle energy among the components. Numerical values are given to typify the magnitudes involved.
