Newt Ganugapati, Teresa Montaruli and Renata Zukanovich Preliminary Atmospheric Air Shower Simulation Results from PYTHIA/FRITIOF Newt Ganugapati, Teresa Montaruli and Renata Zukanovich
Air Shower Puzzle/Trivia of the day? Dmesons also produced (D0,D,Ds and other Kinds) that decay to Prompt muons Puzzle/Trivia of the day? During the production Of these D mesons are there any π ± / K± also that are produced (subsequently decay to muons) ?If so statistically what fraction of Momentum/energy do these π ± / K± take?
Simulation Make PP with PYTHIA then consider the momentum taken by the charm production with appropriate energy processes Subtract it to the Pbeam and use the Pbeam to make an event P-N with FRITIOF and this should account for the nucleons and production of accompanying π ±, K± a) Compare output of FLUKA with existing code b) Plots of D0,D,DS and , π ± , K± c) Compare average charm to average π ± , K± energy as a function of beam energy d) Some conclusion about the muons
