Study of the charge asymmetry in electromagnetic interactions of cosmic ray muons
The Durgapur cosmic ray spectrograph has been utilised to study the electromagnetic interaction of cosmic ray muons in iron in the momentum range 5–100 GeV/ c. The dependence of the interaction cross section on the charge of the muons for the production of a single electron secondary due to the knoc...

| description | The Durgapur cosmic ray spectrograph has been utilised to study the electromagnetic interaction of cosmic ray muons in iron in the momentum range 5–100 GeV/
c. The dependence of the interaction cross section on the charge of the muons for the production of a single electron secondary due to the knock-on process and for two and more two electrons due to both knock-on and pair production has been investigated.
The ratio of the interaction cross section for positive muons to that for negative muons in the magnetic-iron has been found to be 0.952 ± 0.045 for the production of one secondary particle. For production of two and more than two secondaries the ratios are 1.05 ± 0.09 and 0.91 ± 0.08 respectively. The present results do not indicate any charge asymmetry of cosmic ray muons in respect of electromagnetic interactions in iron. |
