摘要

A scintillating optical fiber calorimeter (SOFCAL) is being developed by NASA/Marshall Space Flight Center for use in experiments to study the spectrum of high-energy cosmic rays and gamma rays from 100 GeV to 1,000 TeV. SOFCAL will not saturate for long exposures and this calorimeter in these balloon-borne emulsion chambers will be helpful for the study of the composition of primary cosmic-ray nuclei. For primary nuclei with energies much greater than 10~(14) eV, nucleus-nucleus interactions are likely to exhibit characteristics of a quark-gluon plasma (QGP). A particle event generator was used to model the collision of a cosmic-ray nucleus with a target nucleus in an emulsion chamber. FRITIOF with LUCIAE was chosen to model collisions of primary cosmic rays in an emulsion chamber with SOFCAL. Pseudo-rapidity distributions were computed for protons on lead at 200 GeV/c and compared with experimental data. Pseudo-rapidity distributions were computed for protons or iron incident on a carbon or silver nucleus. For gamma-rays from nucleus-nucleus interactions, the total energy of the electromagnetic component ΣE_γ was computed. The partial coefficient of inelasticity k_γ, defined by ΣE_γ = k_γ E_0, was computed from the primary energy E_0 of the cosmic rays. The f(k_γ)-distributions were computed and compared with existing calorimeter data. Funding was provided by the NASA/University Joint Venture (JOVE) Program.
