Strong interactions in air showers

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2015-03-05 v3 High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena

Abstract

We study the role new gauge interactions in extensions of the standard model play in air showers initiated by ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays. Hadron-hadron events remain dominated by quantum chromodynamics, while projectiles and/or targets from beyond the standard model permit us to see qualitative differences arising due to the new interactions.
