Description

From different reasons proton-proton cross sections are of immense theoretical interest, and the explaining models need a test by measurements beyond the reach of ground-based accelerators. The seminar discusses the use of Extensive Air Shower observations as source of information of the total inelastic protonair cross section, illustrated by recent studies of the Pierre Auger Laboratory.
