A new physical phenomenon in ultra-high energy collisions

We show that combining the published Pierre Auger Observatory measurements of the longitudinal and lateral properties of UHE atmospheric showers, points to an unforeseen change in the nature of particle interactions at ultrahigh energy. A “toy model” of UHE proton-air interactions is presented which...
