论文摘要
提出了一种使用超薄量热仪的能量E> 10^12 eV测量宇宙射线颗粒的能量的方法。该方法基于对级联反应对级联过程发展速率的相关性依赖性的分析。为了确定一级能量,根据吸收层隔开的两个观测水平z1和z2的级联粒子数量进行测量。基于获得的测量值,对Logne(Z1)对差异DN = log ne(Z1) - log ne(Z2)的依赖性进行了相关分析。 DN轴负部分中的相关曲线(来自DN的log ne)几乎相互平行,实际上并不取决于级联发育的深度。它可以使用超薄量热仪来确定主要能量。应用该方法的最佳选择是量热计,该量热计的单元具有较重的靶标,导致级联反应的快速发展,以及均匀的测量和吸收块。
An approach for measuring energy of cosmic-ray particles with energies E > 10^12 eV using an ultrathin calorimeter is presented. The method is based on the analysis of the correlation dependence of the cascade size on the rate of development of the cascade process. In order to determine the primary energy, measurements are made based on the number of secondary particles in the cascade, Ne, at two observation levels Z1 and Z2, separated by an absorber layer. Based on the obtained measurements, a correlation analysis of the dependence of logNe(Z1) on the difference dN = log Ne(Z1) - log Ne(Z2) is carried out. The correlation curves (log Ne from dN) in the negative part of the dN axis are almost parallel to each other and practically do not depend on the depth of the cascade development. It makes it possible to determine the primary energy using an ultrathin calorimeter. The best option for applying the method is a calorimeter, which has a unit with a heavy target, leading to the rapid development of the cascade, and a homogeneous measuring and absorption block.
