CORSIKA在广泛空气簇射中重夸克产生和传播的实现
CORSIKA Implementation of Heavy Quark Production and Propagation in Extensive Air Showers
摘要：
重夸克通常在当前的加速器实验中产生。因此，我们很自然地认为，它们应该同样是在与更大的质心能量的碰撞中产生的，就像那些涉及超高能宇宙射线和大气核的碰撞一样。尽管如此，在广泛空气簇射（EAS）的蒙特卡罗生成器中，仍缺少对重强子的详细处理。必须改进对重味如何在大气簇射中出现和演变的描述。考虑到这一目标，我们研究了质子-空气碰撞中重夸克产生的两种不同模型。我们还分析了一个专门的治疗重强子与大气核的相互作用。本文展示了如何将这些模型作为新的选项在CORSIKA中实现，CORSIKA是最常用的EAS模拟器之一。这种新的计算工具使我们能够分析重强子的传播对EAS发展的影响
英文摘要：
Heavy quarks are commonly produced in current accelerator experiments. Hence it is natural to think that they should be likewise created in collisions with larger center of mass energies like the ones involving ultra-high energy cosmic rays and atmospheric nuclei. Despite this fact, a detailed treatment of heavy hadrons is missing in Monte Carlo generators of Extensive Air Showers (EAS). It is a must to improve the description of how heavy flavours appear and evolve in atmospheric showers. With this goal in mind, we study two different models for heavy quark production in proton-air collisions. We also analyze a dedicated treatment of heavy hadrons interactions with atmospheric nuclei. This paper shows how those models have been implemented as new options available in CORSIKA, one of the most used EAS simulators. This new computational tool allows us to analyze the effects that the propagation of heavy hadrons has in the EAS development
