Based on an analysis of the extensive air shower data accumulated over the last ten years at Akeno Cosmic Ray Observatory, the value of the proton-air nuclei inelastic cross section (σinp−air) has been determined assuming the validity of quasi-Feynman scaling of particle production in the fragmentation region. The energy dependence of σinp−air can be represented as 290(E/1 TeV)0.052 mb in the energy interval 1016.2–1017.6 eV, where E is the incident proton energy. The total p-p cross section (σtotp−p), derived using the nuclear distribution function obtained from the shell model, increases with energy as 38.5+1.37 ln2(√s /10 GeV) mb.

Best fit to data gives SIG(PP) = 38.5 + 1.37*LN(SQRT(S)/10 GeV)**2.
Reaction cross sections for 65.5 MeV protons have been measured for 9 Be, 12 C, 16 O, 28 Si, 40 Ca, 58,60 Ni, 112.116.118.120.124 Sn, and 208 Pb. The results are compared with optical model predictions using relativistic global potentials.
