Insulator irradiation damage from extensive air showers in high-altitude areas

Secondary electrons (SEs) of high-energy cosmic rays in high-altitude areas can cause irradiation damage to insulators. In this paper, the Monte Carlo method is utilized to analyze the energy loss of SEs irradiated by extensive air showers in insulators. We investigate the formation of electron–hole...
