Quark-Gluon Plasma, Cosmic-Ray Interactions

Scientific paper

A phenomenological model for the production of ``Centauro''-type cosmic-ray events is developed, assuming a nucleus-nucleus interaction in the upper atmosphere. The model is used to estimate, in a self-consistent way, several thermodynamic and kinematical quantities, characterizing the observed Centauro events. On the basis of this model, we describe a typical ``Centauro'' event, possibly produced in the fragmentation rapidity of an A+A central collision at √s =200A GeV at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. We suggest several characteristic signatures for these events, as well as the possibility of observing ``strangelets.''
