Emulsion chamber observations of Centauros, aligned events and the long-flying component

  • Review Article
  • Published:
Central European Journal of Physics

Abstract

The cosmic ray emulsion chamber community has reported several unusual phenomena which are also relevant to experiments at the current high-energy accelerators, in particular the Fermilab Tevatron Collider and the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). A summary of the ”Cosmic Rays at Mountain Altitude” workshop held at Plock (Poland, September 2010) is given.
