High-Energy Muons in Pamir Experiment

Sveshnikova L. G., Galkin V. I., Nazarov S. N., Roganova T. M.

Here we present an alternative explanation of the anomalies in hadron absorption in lead observed at an energy of about tens of TeV in deep lead X-ray emulsion chambers in the Pamir experiment [1, 2]. We check hypothesis proposed in [3] that high-energy muons with energy > 100 TeV are present in the atmosphere and can give the origin of additional cascades detected at large depth of lead.
