Emulsion chamber experiments; critical comments and future prospects

Emulsion chamber observations of Centauros, aligned events and the long-flying component

“…To convince the reader that the physics of C-jets is understood, the pseudo-rapidity distribution of non-Centauro C-jet data is compared directly in Fig. 3 with those of simulated events using the QGSJET model for p-C interaction [18]. Cosmic-ray protons are assumed to enter the target layer of the twostorey emulsion chamber with integral energy spectrum E −1 8 and to make nuclear interactions in the target layer.…”
