“…The proton-air cross section is then calculated by the formula Λ cross = k · 14.5 · m p /σ inel p−Air . The simple factor k is used to correct for the influence of shower fluctuation and detector response [3,18,19]. It includes properties of the underlying hadronic interaction model.…”

The attenuation of the electron shower size beyond the shower maximum is studied with the KASCADE extensive air shower experiment in the primary energy range of about 10 14 − 10 16 eV. Attenuation and absorption lengths are determined by applying different approaches, including the method of constant intensity, the decrease of the flux of extensive air showers with increasing zenith angle, and its variation with ground pressure. We observe a significant dependence of the results on the applied method. The determined values of the attenuation length ranges from 175 to 196 g/cm 2 and of the absorption length from 100 to 120 g/cm 2 . The origin of these differences is discussed emphasizing the influence of intrinsic shower fluctuations.

Abstract. The model dependence of the development of extensive air showers generated by high-energy cosmic-ray particles in the atmosphere is studied. The increase of proton-proton and proton-air inelastic cross-sections and values for the elasticity are varied in the hadronic interaction model QGSJET. Using the CORSIKA simulation program, the impact of these changes is investigated on air shower observables like the average depth of the shower maximum Xmax and the number of muons and electrons at ground level. Calculating the mean logarithmic mass from experimental Xmax values, it is found that a moderate logarithmic increase of the proton-proton inelastic cross-section from σ inel pp = 51 mb at E 0 = 10 6 GeV to σ inel pp = 64 mb at E 0 = 10 8 GeV and an elasticity, additionally increased by 10% to 15%, describes the data best. Using these parameters, the mean logarithmic mass ln A derived from Xmax measurements is compatible with the extrapolations of the results of direct measurements to high energies using the poly-gonato model.

Recent experimental data on high‐energy elastic scattering of hadrons is reviewed in the light of various theoretical models with special emphasize on the dipole (or geometrical) Pomeron. As suggested by its name, this model combines the properties of two different approaches: the analytic and geometric ones. Its virtue is simplicity, which makes possible analytic calculation of many complicated problems.
