โฆ Synopsis
Recent studies of cosmic-ray energy spectrum in the region above 5 ร 10 19 eV, did not confirm the existence of the predicted cutoff associated with the Greizen-Zatcepin-Kuzmin (GZK) effect. The explanation of this contradiction has generated a number of rather exotic assumptions. Below, we present the results obtained with different experimental arrays, which show that a possible reason for the appearance of events with an energy exceeding 5 ร 10 19 eV can be the long-flying hadronic component formed in interactions of high-energy particles in the atmosphere.
