A speculation about a puzzled result in energy spectrum of cosmic-ray electrons around TeV energies

Abstract

Nuclear Coulomb potential at completely ionized and extremely thin atmosphere can leaks to a macroscopic spatial scale. This effect is used to explain the difference between the energy spectra of cosmic-ray electrons around $1TeV$ measured by different experimental groups. The result inspires us to review the traditional electromagnetic shower theory at the extreme conditions. It is also reminds us that the energy spectrum of cosmic-ray electrons, which are measured by Fermi-LAT and DAMPE at a higher altitude is more closer to a true signature.
