Abstract
Application of a thin organic scintillator for study of 3α fragmentation of 12C nuclei in interactions with relativistic muons and hadrons. The analysis of amplitude spectra from a thin polystyrene-based scintillation counter on hadron and muon-enriched beams of channel 18 of the U-70 accelerator complex in Protvino is presented. Based on statistics of 150 million events on the Hyperon-M setup, the contribution of 3α-fragmentation processes are highlighted, and cross sections of these processes on hadron and pion beams at momentum of 7 GeV/c are measured. In the future, the obtained result may be of interest for estimation the age of gas fields in geology by the concentration of helium 4He in natural gas which formation is possible in the reaction of carbon fragmentation induced by high energy muons.
