Composition from high pT muons in IceCube
Cosmic rays with energies up to 1011 GeV enter the atmosphere and produce showers of secondary particles. Inside these showers muons with high transverse momentum (pT ≳ 2 GeV) are produced from the decay of heavy hadrons, or from high pT pions and kaons very early in the shower development. These is...
