Nucleus-nucleus interactions in very-high-energy cosmic ray experiments

Abstract

A review of unusual results of experiments in cosmic rays which cannot be explained in the frame of the existing models of hadron interactions is presented. Requirements to features of a new model which are necessary for explanation of all observed unusual events and phenomena are formulated. A model of hadron interactions with production of QGM blobs with large orbital momentum is considered. Its possibilities for explanation of various unusual events and phenomena are discussed.
