A Halo Event observed by Hybrid Detector at Mt. Chacaltaya
Abstract
Detailed description is made on a halo event which is obtained by the hybrid detector of an emulsion chamber and an air shower array at Mt. Chacaltaya (5,200 m, Bolivia). Available data for the event are on the halo (Ehalo = 750 TeV) and on the high energy particles of electron/photon and hadronic components by the emulsion chamber, on low energy hadrons by the hadron calorimeter, and on characteristics of the accompanied air shower (Ne = 7.0 × 107 , s = 0.59) by the air shower array. Structure and origin of the event is discussed based on the observed data of various components.
