FLUKA Monte Carlo Simulations about Cosmic Rays Interactions with Kaidun Meteorite

الملخص EN

An asteroid called Kaidun fell on December 3, 1980, in Yemen (15° 0′N, 48° 18′E).

Investigations on this large-sized meteorite are ongoing today.

In this paper, interactions between cosmic rays-earth atmosphere and cosmic rays-Kaidun meteorite were modeled using a cosmic ray generator FLUKA Monte Carlo code.

Isotope distributions and produced particles were given after these interactions.

Also, simulation results were compared for these two types of interactions.
