Measurements of the proton-air cross section with high energy cosmic ray experiments

Detecting Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECRs) enables us to measure the proton-air inelastic cross section σinel p–air at energies that we are unable to access with particle accelerators. The proton-proton cross section σp–p is subsequently inferred from the proton-air cross section at these ener...
