2002, Astroparticle PhysicsCitation Excerpt :Apparently such an underground experiment can essentially help to tune the models which is an indispensable condition for any further studies on chemical composition of cosmic rays and search for QGP effects in cosmic ray showers. Results obtained from simulations discussed above cannot be compared at present with real data as the muon detectors are either located at ground level where the high energy component is entirely hidden in the overall muon flux or they are located so deep underground that the muon momentum cut-off is of the order of TeV or larger and only few muons penetrate to the detector [14–19]. The few experiments with medium overburden have either crude spatial resolution like the underwater experiments [20,21] or they have relatively small detection area like [22] (6×6 m2).
