Violation of scale invariance in hadron interactions at super-high energies

Abstract

It is shown that, when the scaling in hadron interactions is valid at energies of about 2*10¹² eV for x=0.1-1.0 accurate within 10%, the extrapolation of the 'scaling model' to the super-high-energy range 10¹⁵-10¹⁷ eV contradicts the experimental data on extensive air showers (EAS).
