论文摘要
在陆地气氛中撞击宇宙射线（CR）为研究涵盖许多数量级的能量的强子核碰撞的新物理学提供了一个可行的机会，其中包括超出LHC能量的政权。主要CR的永久通量可用于估计给定类型的新物理情况的事件率。为了估算CR诱导的广泛的空气淋浴（EAS）进行新生理学搜索的潜力，我们在这里确定了总亮度，包括使用Hadronic淋浴组件与Corsika〜8的Hadronic淋浴组件的Monte Carlo Simulations在强子空气相互作用中的二级级别的贡献。我们显示了单淋浴获得的结果，并讨论了与CR光谱的相互作用。此外，我们讨论了在EA中研究BSM现象学的可能性，重点介绍了所谓的大型型希格斯的生产，这是一个明确的例子及其对EAS可观察物的影响。
Cosmic Rays (CR) impinging on the terrestrial atmosphere provide a viable opportunity to study new physics in hadron-nucleus collisions at energies covering many orders of magnitude, including a regime well beyond LHC energies. The permanent flux of primary CR can be used to estimate event rates for a given type of new physics scenario. As a step to estimate the potential for new-physics searches in CR-induced Extensive Air Showers (EAS), we here determine the total luminosity, including the contribution stemming from the cascade of secondaries in hadron-air interactions using Monte Carlo simulations of the hadronic shower component with CORSIKA~8. We show results obtained for single showers and discuss the interplay with the CR spectrum. Furthermore, we discuss the possibility to study BSM phenomenology in EAS, focusing on so-called large-multiplicity Higgs production as an explicit example and its impact on EAS observables.
