Proton-air interactions at ultra-high energies in muon-depleted air showers with different depths
The hardness of the energy spectrum of neutral pions produced in proton-air interactions at ultra-high energies, above 1018 eV, is constrained by the steepness of the shower-to-shower distribution of the number of muons in muon-depleted extensive air showers.In this work, we find that this steepness...
