Hadron-Induced High- And Super-High-Energy Interactions

Scientific paper

Bjorken has proposed the construction of a full acceptance SSC detector (FAD) with the capability of observing complete events, i.e., sensitive to all particles at all rapidities. We here draw attention to the fact that the particle physics capabilities of such an instrument can be exploited to resolve important issues in cosmic ray astrophysics. FAD can make a critical contribution to the search for the cosmic accelerator(s) of the highest energy cosmic rays. Also, unlike conventional central detectors, FAD can search for a variety of unusual phenomena associated with production of very forward particles in cosmic ray interactions with collision energy in excess of 1014-1015 eV, i.e. √s larger than 1 TeV.
