The observation of extensive air showers (EAS) in the atmosphere initiated by ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays offers a test of new physics. In particular, some showers, initiated by neutral particles from point sources, contain a larger number of muons than can be explained by the standard model. A strong interaction between quarks and neutrinos, induced by some new physics, is presented as an explanation. For definiteness, the new physics is assumed to be the manifestation of a composite structure of quarks and leptons, though the general features of the interaction are common to many new physics scenarios. The consequences of such an interaction on the generation and development of EAS are studied with a phenomenological model incorporated into the Monte Carlo program showersim. Properties of the electromagnetic, muonic, and hadronic components of simulated EAS for neutrino-induced and ordinary proton-induced showers are presented for the observation level of the CYGNUS experiment at Los Alamos. Some features of these components display distinctive signals of new physics.
