On the nature of cosmic rays above the Greisen--Zatsepin--Kuz'min cut off
L. A. Anchordoqui, M. Kirasirova, T. P. McCauley +2
A re-examination of the atmospheric cascade profile of the highest energy cosmic ray is presented. The study includes air-shower simulations considering different cross sections, p…
Fractal Electromagnetic Showers
L. A. Anchordoqui, M. Kirasirova, T. P. McCauley +3
We study the self-similar structure of electromagnetic showers and introduce the notion of the fractal dimension of a shower. Studies underway of showers in various materials and a…
A pot of gold at the end of the cosmic "raynbow"?
L. A. Anchordoqui, M. T. Dova, T. P. McCauley +3
We critically review the common belief that ultrahigh energy cosmic rays are protons or atomic nuclei with masses not exceeding that of iron. We find that heavier nuclei are indeed…
Studies of Avalanche Photodiode Performance in a High Magnetic Field
J. Marler, T. McCauley, S. Reucroft +3
We report the results of exposing a Hamamatsu avalanche photodiode (APD) to a 7.9 Tesla magnetic field. The effect of the magnetic field on the gain of the APD is shown and discuss…
