New Technique of X-Ray-Emulsion Chamber Data Processing

摘要

The modern installations for cosmic ray studies register the spatial and energy characteristics of various particles. One has to solve the problems of selecting the strong interaction models or determining the primary radiation chemical composition under conditions of high a priori uncertainty, when there is practically nothing known about the probability distribution function form in the indication space. In this paper the universal methods are reported that allow one with most confidence to select the optimal feature complexes and to make statistical decisions on the experimental data relation to one or the other model. The methods are tested on the problem of discriminating gamma -families produced by primary protons or iron nuclei and registered by X-ray emulsion chambers. (Atomindex citation 14:807279)
