Using CORSIKA, we determine typical energies and phase space regions of secondary particles which are important for muon production in extensive air showers and confront the results with existing fixed target measurements. Furthermore possibilities to measure relevant quantities of hadron production in existing and planned accelerator experiments are discussed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-12-21T18:09:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "96.40.Pq", "13.85.Tp" ], "keywords": [ "extensive air showers", "muon production", "hadronic interactions", "hadronic multiparticle production", "phase space regions" ], "tags": [ "conference paper", "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1007/s10582-006-0156-9" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 701076 } } }
