Cosmic dust grains strike again
arXiv:astro-ph/9911044 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.61.087302
Abstract
A detailed simulation of air showers produced by dust grains has been performed by means of the {\sc aires} Monte Carlo code with the aim of comparing with experimental data. Our analysis indicates that extensive dust grain air showers must yet be regarded as highly speculative but they cannot be completely ruled out.
