Abstract

The attenuation length of proton primaries and the proton-air inelastic cross section are studied at energies E₀ ≈ 10¹⁵ eV by using the EAS-TOP array data. Proton initiated Extensive Air Showers, in the energy range (2 ÷ 4) 10¹⁵ eV and near maximum development, are selected from their N_μ(E_μ > 1 GeV) and N_e sizes. The experimental attenuation length A_obs is compared with those obtained from simulations, including the full detector response, based on different interaction models (HDPM, VENUS, DPMJET, QGSJET and SIBYLL) in the frame of CORSIKA code. The proton-air inelastic cross section is also inferred by using the factor k = A^sim_obs/λ^sim_p-air obtained from each interaction model.
