Exotic models are no longer required to explain the Centauro events

We argue that too much exotic scene setting is not necessary for the explanation of the Centauro events observed by the mountain based emulsion chambers. We show that a proper understanding of the detector helps to find a mundane solution to the “decades old cosmic ray mystery.” We conclude that the exotic events observed so far are not inconsistent with the incorrect evaluation of the detector response and misinterpretation of the experimental signal.
