Muon Spectrum in Air Showers Initiated by Gamma Rays
Abstract
The authors have derived an analytic representation for the invariant cross-section for the production of charged pions in γP interactions by making use of the available cross-sections. Using this the abundance of muons in a gamma ray initiated air shower is calculated.
