Analytical Evaluation of the Hadron Number in Extensive Air Showers for Rising Inelasticity

  • Jiben Sidhanta and Rajkumar Roychoudhury

A purely analytical method is presented in this paper for evaluating the average number of hadrons (in an air shower) with a given energy as the inelasticity of the cross-section rises. Our result is found to be in excellent agreement with numerical solutions and also with experimental data, particularly in the high energy range.
