Simulation study on origin of multi-core events in cosmic rays extensive air showers

High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena 2013-09-23 v2

Abstract

Some experiments have found multi-core events in cosmic rays extensive air showers which should be interpreted by hadronic interaction theory. In this paper, the multi-core events are reproduced by Monte Carlo simulation with CORSIKA. The origin of each sub-cores is tracked back from the observation level. The interaction mechanism and original particles of sub-core are studied in this paper.
