Absorption curve of e-h cascades in the calorimeter normalized to EAS size when the showers are grouped by energy release Eh.

Long-Flying component at Tien Shan High Mountain Station I.V.Dremin & V.I.Yakovlev (LPI RAS) introduced two possible explanations of the effect: considerable contribution of charm particles (D0, Lc); (note: production cross sections scprod at √s < 20 GeV were quite small, i.e., scprod 10 μb). manifestation of quark strange matter existence of (strangelets). Both candidates can carry effectively the energy deep through the lead absorber.

Penetrating hadrons with abnormal absorption in lead (1980-ies) In the range of 070 rad. lengths, the absorption curve obeys the standard exponential law with index (1)abs=(2005) g/cm2. However, at larger depths (>70 c.u.), the absorption length of hadrons in lead changes and becomes as high as (2)abs=(34080) g/cm2. This unusual phenomenon seems to be similar to that discovered earlier at the Tien Shan Mountain Station when absorption of EAS hadron cores in a hadron calorimeter was studied (a hypothesis of long-flying component of cosmic rays introduced by V.I.Yakovlev). Distribution of the cascade origin points for hadrons with Eh(γ) 6.3 TeV obtained in the Pamir experiment by means of homogeneous Pb-chambers 110 cm thick.

Exotic Phenomena study with 2-storey XREC at the Pamirs The envisaged goals of the experiment: origin of penetrating hadronic particles (strangelets or charm hadrons); search for Centauros; study of coplanarity phenomenon.

Experimental data from 1-year exposition of 2-tired XREC at TSS Preliminary Preliminary Number of darkness spots produced by hadron cascades as a function of lead depth t (experiment and simula- tion according to FANSY code with different options for scprod and accounting for chamber response with ECSim2.0 based on GEANT 3.21) A layout of 2-tired XREC at TSS Supper = 48 m2, Slower= 32 m2, Egth  5 TeV

Simulation of 2-storey XREC response with ECSim 2. 0+FANSY 1 Simulation of 2-storey XREC response with ECSim 2.0+FANSY 1.0 code accounting for charm production MC code FANSY 1.0 (developed by R.A. Mukhamedshin of INR RAS) represents a phenomenological hadronic interaction model implementing quark-gluon string theoretical approaches and assuming various charm production cross section parameters (in many features close to QGSGETII model except for the x-spectra of secondary particles including charmed ones: they appeared to be too soft as compared to the LHC data). MC code ECSim 2.0 is based on GEANT 3.21 and allows to calculate the detector response for XREC of a given design taking into account the exact experimental technique used in the ‘Pamir’ experiment.

Analysis of data obtained with homogeneous lead XREC 110 cm depth Distribution of darkness spots produced in homogeneous lead XREC if scprod  5 mb/nucl. (a) or if scprod  8 mb/nucl. (b) at xlab ≥ 0.1 on assumption that the fractions of nucleons and pions among incident particles are 70% and 30 %, respectively.

Recent RHIC and LHC results The total charm production cross section at =2.76 and at 7 TeV was evaluated by extrapolating from the central rapidity range to the full phase space. Simulations: perturbative-QCD calculations accounting for Next-to-Leading Order corrections Pamir 2014 =7 TeV

Important note. Due to the high energy threshold (Eth ≥ 4 TeV), XREC experiments observe production of the most forward particles, i.e., they can study the kinematic fragmentation region of a projectile particle: !!! XREC experiments should be considered as complementary ones to collider experiments !!!

σ pp→charm ~ 8 mb/nucleon Conclusions The on-going CR experiment with 2-storey XREC is appeared to be rather sensitive to the charm production in forward cone. Charmed particle production cross section in the forward kinematic region (xlab ≥ 0.1) is as high as σ pp→charm ~ 8 mb/nucleon Note: accounting for more realistic and hard x-spectra may decrease this value Excess of hadronic cascades in the depth of lead calorimeters can be accounted for by contribution of charmed particles.

Thank you for attention!
