Abstract: ARGO-YBJ is the first EAS detector combining a very high mountain altitude (4300 m a.s.l.) to a "full coverage" detection surface. These features allow ARGO-YBJ to work with an energy threshold as low as a few hundreds GeV. The high duty cycle and the large field of view (~2 sr) make ARGO-YBJ suitable to monitor the gamma ray sky searching for unknown sources and unexpected events, like Active Galactic Nuclei flaring episodes or high energy Gamma Ray Bursts. In this paper we present the first observations of ARGO-YBJ concerning gamma ray astronomy, in particular the detection of the Crab Nebula and the blazar Markarian 421 during the 2006 and 2008 outbursts, and the results of a search for Gamma Ray Bursts emission in the GeV energy range using the scaler mode technique.

Abstract: The ARGO-YBJ experiment is designed for very high energy gamma-astronomy and cosmic ray researches. Due to the full coverage of a large area (5600 m^2) with resistive plate chambers at a very high altitude (4300 m a.s.l.), the ARGO-YBJ detector is used to search for transient phenomena, such as gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Because the ARGO-YBJ detector has a large field of view ( about 2 sr) and is operated with a high duty cycle (>90%), it is one of the best ground-based GRB surveying apparatuses. Working at a relatively high energy threshold around a few hundreds of GeV, the ARGO-YBJ detector is operated in searches for high energy GRBs following alarms set by satellite-borne observations at lower energies. In this paper, the sensitivity of the ARGO-YBJ detector for GRB detection is estimated. Upper limits to fluence with 99% confidence level for 30 GRBs inside the field of view from June 2006 to January 2009 are set in the two energy ranges 10 GeV - 100 GeV and 10 GeV-1 TeV.

Abstract: The ARGO-YBJ experiment has two kinds of signals in the shower working mode which allows coverage of the energy region from TeV to PeV region. One is the digital strip pattern, another is so-called ‘big pad’ mode, which is the analog signal counting the pulse height on half of an RPC, proportional to the number of hitting particles. In this paper by using the Monte Carlo simulation method the ARGO-YBJ sensitivity to the cosmic ray composition is discussed, by using the ‘big pad’ signal for measuring the number of particles detected close to the shower core.

Abstract: In ground-based cosmic ray experiments, the equalization of the transit time of signals coming from different parts of the apparatus is of crucial importance for the improvement of the angular resolution and accuracy. In the ARGO-YBJ experiment, this is achieved using the Characteristic Plane Method with conical correction, studied by both Monte Carlo simulation and real data and also checked with manual absolute calibration on a portion of the detector. By introducing conical correction in primary direction reconstruction, the systematics error existing in the off-line calibration with planar fit is successfully removed. Two subsequent construction phases of the detector have been considered: ARGO-42 and ARGO-104. During the calibration of ARGO-104, events with more than 1000 hits and with the core reconstructed inside the carpet were used in order to achieve a good reconstruction of the shower, that is the arrival direction and the core position. The results of the calibration concerning the two configurations, ARGO-42 and ARGO-104, are compared and discussed.

Abstract: The ARGO-YBJ experiment is a large area full coverage detector operating at high mountain altitude (4300 m a.s.l., Tibet, China, ∼6700 m2 active surface). In scaler mode, the particle rate is recorded at fixed time intervals (0.5 s), allowing the achievement of an energy threshold as low as E t h ∼ 1 GeV for the photons. This result, together with the estimate of the effective area as a function of the primary energy, has been obtained using the simulation code CORSIKA6201 for the shower development in the atmosphere and a dedicated and detailed detector simulation, ARGOG, based on GEANT3.21. With this simulation chain, and using the known primary proton and helium spectra, we obtained counting rates consistent with the measured ones, making us confident in the expectation of the detector performance as far as the photon shower detection is concerned, which is of crucial importance to determine the capability of the ARGO-YBJ experiment to detect gamma-ray bursts (GRBs).

Abstract: A search for transient point sources of ultra-high-energy (UHE) γ-rays has been performed, based on the correlation of two extensive air shower arrays, BAKSAN (North Caucasus, 1700 m a.s.l., BAKSAN Neutrino Observatory, Russia) and EAS-TOP (Campo Imperatore, 2005 a.s.l., Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso, Italy), which are located at very similar latitudes (φ≈43° N), and separated in longitude by Δλ≈33.7°. The search has been conducted at primary energy Eγ⩾5×1013 eV on the time scale of a daily source transit over the sky, observable in the northern hemisphere (19° The stability of the single detectors has been studied and verified up to high significance level. No coincident excess, not compatible with the expectations from statistical fluctuations, has been observed. The obtained upper limits to the rate of transient events, nγ, at 90% c.l., are • concerning the sky survey, in the declination band corresponding to the zenith, n γ /(Ωt) /(yr sr) with Φγ(Eγ>5×1013 eV)>2.0×10−11 cm −2 s−1 and duration Δt • concerning the candidate sources, e.g., for Markarian 421: nγ/t 5×1013 eV)>1.3×10−11 cm −2 s−1 and Δt A coincident episode from Markarian 421, observed on 15 January, 1994, with expected chance imitation rate nch= 0.01 is discussed.

Abstract: The break observed in the electron shower size power law spectrum of Extensive Air Showers (EAS) at corresponding primary energy E-0 similar to (3 - 5)10(15) eV ("knee") is studied in different EAS components (electromagnetic and muonic) and at different atmospheric depths. A consistent description is obtained. The interpretation of data in terms of primary composition, and following the most accepted high energy interaction models, leads to an increasing average primary mass in this energy range. The study of such behaviour is expected to provide a crucial information for the understanding of the physical parameters that characterize the break for the different primaries.

Abstract: The ARGO-YBJ detector is an extensive air shower array consisting of a carpet of Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs). Very high energy (VHE) gamma ray astronomy is the main scientific goal of this Chinese-Italian experiment. High altitude and full coverage ensure a low energy threshold (few hundreds of GeV for primary photons), high duty-cycle and large field of view allow a continuous sky survey in the declination range from −10° to +70°. Also many features of the high energy cosmic rays are studied by ARGO-YBJ exploiting the unprecented shower reconstruction.

Abstract: The ARGO-YBJ air shower detector monitored the Crab Nebula gamma ray emission from 2007 November to 2013 February. The integrated signal, consisting of $\sim$3.3 $\times$ 10$^5$ events,reached the statistical significance of 21.1 standard deviations. The obtained energy spectrum in the energy range 0.3-20 TeV can be described by a power law function dN/dE = I$_0$ (E / 2 TeV)$^{-\alpha}$, with a flux normalization I$_0$ = (5.2 $\pm$ 0.2) $\times$ 10$^{-12}$ photons cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ TeV$^{-1}$ and $\alpha$ = 2.63 $\pm$ 0.05, corresponding to an integrated flux above 1 TeV of 1.97 $\times$ 10$^{-11}$ photons cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$. The systematic error is estimated to be less than 30$\%$ for the flux normalization and 0.06 for the spectral index. Assuming a power law spectrum with an exponential cutoff dN/dE = I$_0$ (E / 2 TeV)$^{-\alpha}$ $\exp$ (-E / E$_{cut}$), the lower limit of the cutoff energy E$_{cut}$ is 12 TeV, at 90$\%$ confidence level. Our extended dataset allows the study of the TeV emission over long timescales. Over five years, the light curve of the Crab Nebula in 200-day bins is compatible with a steady emission with a probability of 7.3 $\times$ 10$^{-2}$. A correlated analysis with Fermi-LAT data over $\sim$4.5 years using the light curves of the two experiments gives a Pearson correlation coefficient $r$ = 0.56 $\pm$ 0.22. Concerning flux variations on timescales of days, a "blind" search for flares with a duration of 1-15 days gives no excess with a significance higher than four standard deviations. The average rate measured by ARGO-YBJ during the three most powerful flares detected by Fermi-LAT is 205 $\pm$ 91 photons day$^{-1}$, consistent with the average value of 137 $\pm$ 10 day$^{-1}$., Comment: 12 pages, 10 figures

Abstract: The amplitude and phase of the first harmonic of the sidereal anisotropy of cosmic rays at E 0 = 2·10 14 eV have been measured by the EAS-TOP experiment (Campo Imperatore, 2005 m a.s.l., LNGS, Italy) and are respectively (at the equatorial plane): A sid = (3.73±0.57)·10 −4 ; φ sid = 1.82±0.49 h lst, with significance 6.5 s.d. The result is supported by different consistency checks. From the comparison with lower energy data, it follows that the amplitude and the phase of the cosmic ray anisotropy are constant over the energy range 10 12 – 2·10 14 eV. This implies at these energies a constant influence of the local interstellar medium on the propagation of cosmic rays.

Abstract: The cosmic ray energy spectrum in the range E-o = 10(15)-10(16) eV (including the region of the steepening, "knee") is studied by means of the EAS-TOP array (Campo Imperatore, Gran Sasso Laboratories, atmospheric depth 820 g cm(-2)). Measurements of the electromagnetic size (N-e = total number of charged particles at the observation level) are performed as a function of zenith angle with statistical accuracies of a few percent. The change of slope of the spectrum is observed in each bin of zenith angle at size values decreasing with increasing atmospheric depth. Its attenuation is compatible with the one of shower particles (Lambda(e) = 219 +/- 3 g cm(-2)). This observation provides a consistency check, supporting a normal behaviour of showers at the break, that make plausible astrophysical interpretations based on an effect on primaries occurring at a given primary energy. The break has a "sharp" shape (i.e., within experimental errors is compatible with two intersecting power laws) that represents a constraint with which any interpretation has to match. The change of slope of the power law index reproducing the size spectrum is Delta gamma = 0.40 +/- 0.09. The derived all particle energy spectrum is in good agreement with the extrapolation of the direct measurements at low energies and with other EAS data at and above the knee. Power laws fits to the energy spectrum below and above the knee give tin units of m(-2) s(-1) sr(-1) TeV-1) S(E-o) = (3.48 +/- 0.06) x 10(-10) (E-o/2300)(-2.76+/-0.03) for 900 TeV < E-o < 2300 TeV and S(E-o) = (3.77 +/- 0.08) x 10(-11) (E-o/5000)(-3.19+/-0.06) for 5000 TeV < E-o < 10(4) TeV. The systematic uncertainties connected to the interaction model and the primary composition are discussed. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.

Abstract: The ARGO-YBJ experiment has been designed to decrease the energy threshold of typical Extensive Air Shower arrays by exploiting the high altitute location (Tibet, P. R. of China, 4300 m a.s.l.) and the full coverage.The lower energy limit of the detector (a few GeV) is reached with the single particle technique recording the counting rate at fixed time intervals. We present first results concerning the search for emission from Gamma-Ray Burst in coincidence with satellite detection.

Abstract: The primary cosmic ray (CR) proton, helium and CNO fluxes in the energy range 80-300 TeV are studied at the National Gran Sasso Laboratories by means of EAS-TOP (Campo Imperatore, 2005 m a.s.l.) and MACRO (deep underground, 3100 m w.e., the surface energy threshold for a muon reaching the detector being E-mu(th) approximate to 1.3 TeV). The measurement is based on: (a) the selection of primaries based on their energy/nucleon (i.e., with energy/nucleon sufficient to produce a muon with energy larger than 1.3 TeV) and the reconstruction of the shower geometry by means of the muons recorded by MACRO in the deep underground laboratories; (b) the detection of the associated atmospheric Cherenkov light (C.l.) signals by means of the C.l. detector of EAS-TOP. The C.l. density at core distance r > 100 m is directly related to the total primary energy E-0. Proton and helium ("p + He") and proton, helium and CNO ("p + He + CNO") primaries are thus selected at E-0 approximate to 80 TeV, and at E-0 similar or equal to 250 TeV, respectively. Their flux is measured: J(p+He)(80 TeV) = (1.8 +/- 0.4) x 10(-6) m(-1)-s(-1) sr(-1) TeV-1, and J(p+He+CNO)(250 TeV) = (1.1 +/- 0.3) x 10(-7) m(-2)-s(-1) sr(-1) TeV-1, their relative weights being J(p+He)(J(p+He+CNO)) over bar (250 TeV) = 0.78 +/- 0.17. By using the measurements of the proton spectrum obtained from the direct experiments and hadron flux data in the atmosphere, we obtain for the relative weights of the three components at 250 TeV: J(p) : J(He) : J(CNO) = (0.20 +/- 0.08) : (0.58 +/- 0.19) : (0.22 +/- 0.17). This corresponds to the dominance of helium over proton primaries at 100-1000 TeV, and a possible non-negligible contribution from CNO. The lateral distribution of Cherenkov light in Extensive Air Showers (EASs), which is related to the rate of energy deposit of the primary in the atmosphere, is measured for a selected proton and helium primary beam, and good agreement is found when compared with the one calculated with the CORSIKA/QGSJET simulation model.

Abstract: The primary cosmic ray (CR) proton, helium and CNO fluxes in the energy range 80-300 TeV are studied at the National Gran Sasso Laboratories by means of EAS-TOP (Campo Imperatore, 2005 m a.s.l.) and MACRO (deep underground, 3100 m w.e., the surface energy threshold for a muon reaching the detector being Eμth~1.3 TeV). The measurement is based on: (a) the selection of primaries based on their energy/nucleon (i.e., with energy/nucleon sufficient to produce a muon with energy larger than 1.3 TeV) and the reconstruction of the shower geometry by means of the muons recorded by MACRO in the deep underground laboratories; (b) the detection of the associated atmospheric Cherenkov light (C.l.) signals by means of the C.l. detector of EAS-TOP. The C.l. density at core distance r>100 m is directly related to the total primary energy E0. Proton and helium (``p+He'') and proton, helium and CNO (``p+He+CNO'') primaries are thus selected at E0~=80 TeV, and at E0~=250 TeV, respectively. Their flux is measured: Jp+He(80TeV)=(1.8+/-0.4)×10-6 m-2s-1sr-1TeV-1, and Jp+He+CNO(250TeV)=(1.1+/-0.3)×10-7 m-2s-1sr-1TeV-1, their relative weights being: Jp+He/Jp+He+CNO(250TeV)=0.78+/-0.17. By using the measurements of the proton spectrum obtained from the direct experiments and hadron flux data in the atmosphere, we obtain for the relative weights of the three components at 250 TeV: Jp:JHe:JCNO=(0.20+/-0.08):(0.58+/-0.19):(0.22+/-0.17). This corresponds to the dominance of helium over proton primaries at 100-1000 TeV, and a possible non-negligible contribution from CNO. The lateral distribution of Cherenkov light in Extensive Air Showers (EASs), which is related to the rate of energy deposit of the primary in the atmosphere, is measured for a selected proton and helium primary beam, and good agreement is found when compared with the one calculated with the CORSIKA/QGSJET simulation model.

Abstract: The ARGO-YBJ experiment is currently under construction at the Yangbajing Cosmic Ray Laboratory (4300 m a.s.l.).The detector consists of a central carpet, 74 × 78 m2, made of a single layer of Resistive Plate Counters (RPCs), and surrounded by a partially instrumented guard ring for a total instrumented area of about 6700 m2. The digital read-out, performed by means of pick-up electrodes 6.7 × 62 cm2 (strip), allows to measure the charged particle number of small size air showers. The technique of counting the number of fired strips on the ARGO carpet corresponds to operate in the 10÷500 TeV energy region where both direct and indirect measurements on the primary cosmic radiation have been performed. Many composition models have been proposed by different experiments. In this work we discuss the ability of the ARGO detector to discriminate among some models.

Abstract: ""The ARGO-YBJ experiment at YangBaJing in Tibet (4300m a.s.l.) has been taking data with its full layout since October 2007. Here we present a few significant results obtained in gamma-ray astronomy and cosmic-ray physics. Emphasis is placed on the analysis of gamma-ray emission from point-like sources (Crab Nebula, MRK 421), on the preliminary limit on the antiproton\\\/proton flux ratio, on the large-scale cosmic-ray anisotropy and on the proton-air cross-section. The performance of the detector is also discussed, and the perspectives of the experiment are outlined.""

Abstract: We report on the extensive multi-wavelength observations of the blazar Markarian 421 (Mrk 421) covering radio to gamma-rays, during the 4.5 year period of ARGO-YBJ and Fermi common operation time, from August 2008 to February 2013. In particular, thanks to the ARGO-YBJ and Fermi data, the whole energy range from 100 MeV to 10 TeV is covered without any gap. In the observation period, Mrk 421 showed both low and high activity states at all wavebands. The correlations among flux variations in different wavebands were analyzed. Seven large flares, including five X-ray flares and two GeV gamma-ray flares with variable durations (3-58 days), and one X-ray outburst phase were identified and used to investigate the variation of the spectral energy distribution with respect to a relative quiescent phase. During the outburst phase and the seven flaring episodes, the peak energy in X-rays is observed to increase from sub-keV to few keV. The TeV gamma-ray flux increases up to 0.9-7.2 times the flux of the Crab Nebula. The behavior of GeV gamma-rays is found to vary depending on the flare, a feature that leads us to classify flares into three groups according to the GeV flux variation. Finally, the one-zone synchrotron self-Compton model was adopted to describe the emission spectra. Two out of three groups can be satisfactorily described using injected electrons with a power-law spectral index around 2.2, as expected from relativistic diffuse shock acceleration, whereas the remaining group requires a harder injected spectrum. The underlying physical mechanisms responsible for different groups may be related to the acceleration process or to the environment properties., 17 pages, 9 figures, 5 tables, Accepted for publication in ApJS

Abstract: Extensive Air Showers at large zenith angles θ > 70° (Horizontal Air Showers, HAS) are observed at the EAS-TOP array at Campo Imperatore (Gran Sasso Laboratories). The rate of these events exceeds the one due to primary cosmic rays (at this angles) and therefore these showers have to be generated by penetrating particles. Assuming that they are produced by atmospheric muons we derived the muon flux as Fμ(> 30 TeV) = 1.1 × 10−11cm−2s−1sr−1, in good agreement with the underground measurements. The upper limits for diffuse neutrino radiation from these measurements is Iν(> 105GeV) dI ν e (E 0 )/dE ν e −18 cm −2 s −1 sr −1 GeV −1 , for the resonant ( E 0 = m W 2 2m e = 6.4 × 10 6 GeV ) neutrinos.

Abstract: The ARGO-YBJ detector, located 4300 m a.s.l. on the Tibet plateau, is a ground-based, full- coverage array of Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) covering a surface of 78×74 m2, surrounded by a guard ring of RPCs enclosing a total surface of about 11000 m2. ARGO-YBJ was designed to detect extensive air showers generated by cosmic rays and gamma rays with primary energy greater than few hundred GeV, in order to study the region of the cosmic-ray spectrum out of the reach of both satellite-based experiments and traditional ground-based arrays. The experiment has been running with its complete layout since November 2007, collecting over 2:5×1011 events. The main results obtained by ARGO-YBJ will be presented here, and specifically: the monitoring of astronomical gamma-ray sources, such as the Crab nebula and the MRK 421 AGN, the moon shadow, the medium-scale anisotropy map, the proton-proton inelastic cross section at center-of- mass energy between 70 and 500 GeV where no accelerator data are available.

Abstract: UHE cosmic rays are studied by means of the detectors of the different components of secondaries produced by their interactions in the atmosphere (EAS). We describe and discuss the reconstruction techniques and accuracies of the e.m. detector of EAS-TOP. They allow, besides independent high resolution measurements of UHE γ-ray astronomy, good correlation possibilities with the detectors of the different EAS components.

Abstract: A data sample corresponding to 1.23 million hadronic Z decays collected by the ALEPH detector at LEP has been searched for signals of the production of a non-minimal CP-even Higgs boson h in the reaction e + e − → hZ ∗ . The h decay modes considered were: those of the minimal standard model Higgs boson, with modified branching ratios; decays into a pair of CP-odd Higgs bosons A; and decays into invisible final states. Only one event was found, a very acoplanar e+e− pair which could originate from the standard model background process e + e − → e + e − v v . Upper limits for the cross-section of the reaction e + e − → hZ ∗ have been derived as a function of mh, the mass of the Higgs boson h. In the case of invisible decays, the 95% CL lower limit on mh is 65 GeV/c2 for a production cross-section equal to that of a minimal standard model Higgs boson. When combined with previous ALEPH results on the reaction e+e− → hA, these cross-section upper limits exclude a domain in the (mhmA) plane of the MSSM such that if invisible h and A decays can be neglected, 95% CL lower limits of 44 and 21 GeV/c2 result for mh and mA, respectively, independent of the other parameters of the model.

Abstract: The result of a search for high mass photon pairs from the processes e + e − → f f γγ (f = e, μ, τ, v and q) with the ALEPH detector is reported. The result for f = e , μ and τ is to be compared with the observation of 4 events by the L3 Collaboration with invariant masses, M γγ , of the two photons near 60 GeV. From a data sample approximately twice as large taken from 1990 to 1992, 6 events are found with M γγ distributed between 50 GeV and 72 GeV, while 4.9 events are expected from a QED calculation. There is no evidence for a mass peak; only one event ( μ + μ − γγ ) at M γγ = 59.4 ± 0.2 GeV is compatible with the L3 observation. In addition, for M γγ > 50 GeV, no event is found for e + e − → q q γγ and only one event is found consistent with e + e − → v v γγ ; this event has M γγ = 58.5 ± 1.9 GeV. High mass photon pair events have also been searched for in γγ collisions. This allows one to set an upper limit of 50 MeV for the width of an assumed resonance decaying to photon pairs.

Abstract: The EAS-TOP Extensive Air Shower array, on top of the under-ground Gran Sasso Laboratory, is fully operating as a γ-ray astronomy observatory since the beginning of 1989. After showing the measured angular resolution of the detector, we present the results obtained from the analysis of 280 days of measurements in 1989–1990, with the purpose of investigating possible emission (d.c. and sporadic) from the candidate sources in the Northern hemisphere at an energy, >200 TeV.

Abstract: A sample of 4148 four-jet events observed in the ALEPH-detector at LEP in 1989 and 1990 is used to test the underlying gauge group of strong interactions. A fit to the ratios of the "colour factors" C(F), N(C) and T(F), which determine the differential cross sections, yields N(C)/C(F) = 2.24 +/- 0.32stat +/- 0.24syst and T(F)/C(F) = 0.58 +/- 0.17stat +/- 0.23syst. This is in agreement with the values expected from QCD: N(C)/C(F) = 2.25 and T(F)/C(F) = 0.375. The non-zero value of N(C)/C(F) constitutes direct evidence for the existence of the triple-gluon coupling and excludes any abelian gauge theory by more than five standard deviations.

Abstract: The ARGO-YBJ (Astrophysical Radiation Ground-based Observatory at YangBaJing) experiment is designed for very high energy $\gamma$-astronomy and cosmic ray researches. Due to the full coverage of a large area ($5600 m^2$) with resistive plate chambers at a very high altitude (4300 m a.s.l.), the ARGO-YBJ detector is used to search for transient phenomena, such as Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Because the ARGO-YBJ detector has a large field of view ($\sim$2 sr) and is operated with a high duty cycle ($>$90%), it is well suited for GRB surveying and can be operated in searches for high energy GRBs following alarms set by satellite-borne observations at lower energies. In this paper, the sensitivity of the ARGO-YBJ detector for GRB detection is estimated. Upper limits to fluence with 99% confidence level for 26 GRBs inside the field of view from June 2006 to January 2009 are set in the two energy ranges 10$-$100 GeV and 10 GeV$-$1 TeV., Comment: accepted for publication in Astroparticle Physics

Abstract: The proton-air inelastic cross section ({sigma}{sub p-air}{sup inel}) is measured at {radical}(s){approx_equal}2 TeV at the EAS-TOP extensive air shower experiment by studying the absorption length of cosmic ray proton primaries cascades reaching the maximum development at the observation level. Primary energies, in the region E{sub 0}=(1.5 divide 2.5){center_dot}10{sup 15} eV, are selected through the EAS muon number (N{sub {mu}}), and proton originated cascades at maximum development are selected by means of the shower size (N{sub e}). The observed absorption length ({lambda}{sub obs}) is a convolution of the proton-air interaction length ({lambda}{sub p-air}) and of the shower and detector fluctuations. The conversion factor k={lambda}{sub obs}/{lambda}{sub int} is obtained by means of simulations performed with the CORSIKA code and the QGSJET II and SIBYLL interaction models. The obtained value of the p-air inelastic cross section at {radical}(s){approx_equal}2 TeV is {sigma}{sub p-air}{sup inel}=338{+-}21(stat){+-}19(syst)-28(syst) mb. The statistical and systematic uncertainties, as well as the relationships with the pp (pp) total cross section measurements are discussed.

Abstract: The amplitude and phase of the cosmic ray anisotropy are well established experimentally between 10^{11} eV and 10^{14} eV. The study of their evolution into the energy region 10^{14}-10^{16} eV can provide a significant tool for the understanding of the steepening ("knee") of the primary spectrum. In this letter we extend the EAS-TOP measurement performed at E_0 around 10^{14} eV, to higher energies by using the full data set (8 years of data taking). Results derived at about 10^{14} and 4x10^{14} eV are compared and discussed. Hints of increasing amplitude and change of phase above 10^{14} eV are reported. The significance of the observation for the understanding of cosmic ray propagation is discussed., 4 pages, 3 figures, accepted for publication on ApJ Letters

Abstract: On February 23, 1989, an excess of counts of > 100 TeV Extensive Air Showers has been recorded from the direction of the Crab Nebula by three independent detectors: Baksan (North Caucasus, USSR), KGF (India) and EAS-TOP (Gran Sasso, Italy). The chance probability of the combined detection is ~ 10-7. We discuss the EAS-TOP observations from the statistical point of view (chance probability ≤ 10-2) and present some phenomenological characteristics of the events.

Abstract: From more than 175 000 hadronic Z decays observed with the ALEPH detector at LEP, we select 823 events with pairs of leptons in the final state. From these we measure χ , the probability thata b hadron which is observed to decay originated as a b hadron. We find χ =0.132 −0.026 +0.027 .

Abstract: The average lifetime of B hadrons has been measured by the ALEPH experiment at LEP. Events containing B hadrons are selected by the identification of leptons with high transverse momentum in hadronic Z decays, and the lifetime is extracted from a fit to the impact parameter distribution of the lepton tracks. From a sample of 1.7×105 hadronic Z decays a lifetime of 1.29±0.06±0.10 ps is measured.

Abstract: In the energy region 10 - 100 TeV both the c.r. composition from direct measurements and the cross section for high energy secondary production in the very forward region for p-air interactions are rather uncertain. Contemporaneous measurements of the total energy and of the threshold energy/nucleon of the primary particle can be provided by the atmospheric Cherenkov light and high energy muons. These measurements are performed by the combined operation of the Cherenkov array of the EAS-TOP experiment on the surface (810 gcm(2) atmospheric depth) and of the LVD experiment in the underground Gran Sasso Laboratories (3300 m w.e.; E-mu(th) = 1.3 TeV) leading to the measurement of < N-mu > (E-mu > 1.3 TeV, E-o) in the given energy range. The combined operation of the experiments and preliminary results are reported.

Abstract: The attenuation length of proton primaries and the proton-air inelastic cross section are studied at energies E 0 ≈ 10 15 eV by using the EAS-TOP array data. Proton initiated Extensive Air Showers, in the energy range (2 ÷ 4) 10 15 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 = Λ obs sim /λ p —air sim obtained from each interaction model.

Abstract: Horizontal Air Showers, i.e. events observed at “quasi” horizontal incidence, are studied from EAS-TOP at Campo Imperatore (National Gran Sasso Laboratories). The “reality” of such events as due to deeply penetrating particles is discussed from the experimental point of view. We deduce: • -the measurement of the HE muon flux at E μ = 20 TeV : F μ (> 20 TeV ) = (1.3 ± 0.4) × 10 −11 cm −2 s −1 sr −1 , • -the upper limit to the extraterrestrial HE neutrino flux: I ν (> 10 5 GeV ) −9 cm −2 s −1 sr −1 . • The possibility to develop the technique for UHE ν detection is discussed.

Abstract: Absolute multiple muon rates have been measured in the NUSEX detector at Mont Blanc during more than 6 years of data taking. We present here a comparison with the expected rates according to different current models of primary cosmeric ray composition in the energy range 1013–1017 eV. The predictions are based on a Monte Carlo simulation of the atmospheric cascade including the most recent accelerator results on the hadronic interactions.

Abstract: We discuss the feasibility of a telescope consisting in a sampling array for extensive air showers measure combined with a muon tracking device. The sampling array will extend over a surface of ≥ 10 7 m 2 while the muon tracking device will cover ≥ 10 4 m 2 . The telescope should be done with resistive plates counters and would become a very powerful device to study high energy neutrinos and gamma rays astronomy as well as cosmic ray physics up to the highest energy (≥ 10 19 eV ) region.

Abstract: The light scalar Higgs boson h and the pseudoscalar Higgs boson A of the minimal supersymmetric standard model have been searched for in the processes e+e−→hff and e+e−→hA using data collected by ALEPH at the LEP e+e− collider, with center of mass energies at and near the Z peak. Using a variety of signatures adapted to various mass ranges for h and A, we have excluded a large domain in the parameter space. For large values of ν2ν1, the ratio of the vacuum expectation values of the two Higgs fields, the whole range from 0 to 38.8 GeV is excluded for Mh and MA at 95% CL.
