Particles from Centauro Decay in the CASTOR Detecting System

Please note this ps file is TEXT ONLY, for the complete note please contact the ALICE Secretariat. <P> To estimate the numbers of particles from the Centauro fireball, detected in the "Castor" system we should know the average multiplicities and spectra of all kinds of particles produced at the LHC Centauro. From extrapolation of features of cosmic-ray Centauros we expect at the LHC only a residual electromagnetic component: : zero or only a few g-rays or electrons in our photon detectors and much more numerous nuclear component in the hadronic part of our detectors. The nuclear component is expected to be composed mainly of non strange baryons coming from the last stage of the Centauro evolution and K+, K0 mesons, firstly emitted particles from the Centauro fireball. In contrary, in cosmic ray Centauros we have not observed kaons. Kaons, as firstly emitted particles, were lost in nuclear-electromagnetic cascade process in the atmosphere and thus the nuclear active component registered by emulsion chambers have consisted mainly of non-strange baryons.
