Analysis of fundamental interactions capable of producing neutrons in thunderstorms
Babich, Leonid P.; Bochkov, Evgeniǐ I.; Kutsyk, Igor M.; Rassoul, Hamid K. (2014-05-13)Elementary processes capable of producing neutrons in thunderstorms are analyzed. Efficiency is evaluated of nuclear fusion, photonuclear reaction, electrodisintegration, and reaction inverse to the β-decay. An extraordinary ... -
Analysis of the experiment on registration of X-rays from the stepped leader of a cloud-to-ground lightning discharge
Babich, Leonid P.; Kutsyk, Igor M.; Donsko, Evgeni N.; Dwyer, Joseph R. (2013-05)Using a Monte Carlo technique to simulate the transport of runaway electrons (REs) and X-rays in the atmosphere and through attenuators covering detectors, we have modeled the results of experiments to detect X-rays from ... -
Low-energy electron production by relativistic runaway electron avalanches in air
Dwyer, Joseph R.; Babich, Leonid P. (2011-09-07)This paper investigates the production of low-energy (few eV) electrons by relativistic runaway electron avalanches. This work is motivated by a growing body of literature that claims that runaway electron avalanches produce ... -
