Multi-sector scintillation detector for investigations of extensive air showers
Abstract A new type of scintillation detector for shower arrays is considered. The detector represents an octagonal scintillation assembly with total area 1 m 2 divided into sectors. Thickness of the plastic is 20 mm. The light is collected by wavelength shifter bars to the photomultiplier, which is located in the center of the detector. A solution to ensure the uniformity of light collection for any coordinate is proposed. Front-end electronics of the detector consists of the controller, the measuring part (QDC, TDC), the system of calibration and the HV converter. The data acquisition system is based on CAN-open standard. There is also a system of temperature stabilization that guarantees not more than 0.5° deviation of the temperature of measuring part elements. Measuring electronics allows obtaining the dynamic range from 1 up to 10 4 particles and 1 ns time digitization. The time resolution of the detector is about 3 ns.

Cosmic ray neutrino detection on the ground level
Abstract The Cherenkov water detector with volume 2000 m 3 for registration of ν-induced muons from the bottom hemisphere on the ground level was constructed. First results of muon detection are described. Methods of atmospheric muon flux suppression and possibility to reach the rejection factor necessary for separation of ν-induced muons are discussed.

Measurements of integral muon intensity at large zenith angles
High-statistics data on near-horizontal muons collected with Russian-Italian coordinate detector DECOR are analyzed. Precise measurements of muon angular distributions in zenith angle interval from 60 to 90 degrees have been performed. In total, more than 20 million muons are selected. Dependences of the absolute integral muon intensity on zenith angle for several threshold energies ranging from 1.7 GeV to 7.2 GeV are derived. Results for this region of zenith angles and threshold energies have been obtained for the first time. The dependence of integral intensity on zenith angle and threshold energy is well fitted by a simple analytical formula.

The role of VHE muons in an explanation of unusual events observed in cosmic rays
Unusual events observed in cosmic-ray experiments that cannot be explained in the context of modern theories and models are considered. The peculiarities of VHE (>= 100 TeV) muon interactions and their possible contribution to the production of various unusual events in cosmic rays are analyzed. Some preliminary results obtained in relation to unusual events detected in the Tien Shan calorimeter and in the Pamir experiment are discussed.

Photoproduction—DIS Transition
Recent measurements of the proton structure function F2 at low Q2 in e+p deep inelastic scattering (DIS) by the H1 Collaboration are summarized. This measurements are performed in the region of low squared four‐momentum transfers, 0.2 GeV2⩽Q2⩽12 GeV2, and low Bjorken x, 5⋅10−6⩽x⩽0.02.
