Evidence for some new physical process in ultrahigh-energy collisions

Combining the published Pierre Auger Observatory measurements of the longitudinal and lateral properties of UHE atmospheric showers is shown to point to an unforeseen change in the nature of particle interactions at ultrahigh energy. A “toy model” of UHE proton-Air interactions is presented which pr...
