Curvature. Maximum degree of curve shall not exceed 7(degree)30' (764.49' radius). All curves are defined using the chord definition method. A minimum tangent length of 200 feet must be placed between reversing curves. No turnouts (switches) can be placed in a curve.
Curvature. Speed, and Superelevation—Theory and Basis of Criteria, when the Train is travelling at the Maximum Design Speed; and
Curvature. When the fitted radius of curvature of the shower front, R, is very large we observe an un- where the signal is below 0.3 VEM. Finally, the MPD is derestimation of the reconstructed Xµ . So only reconstructed adding those detectors whose total recorded signal is above 3 VEM. This requirement is set to avoid, in real data, the contribution of detectors (usually far away from the core) having a signal dominated by accidental par- ticles. This set of cuts has a high muon selection efficiency. Re- gardless of the energy of the primary and its composition, muon fractions above 85% are always obtained. This guar- events with R < 29000 m are included in our analy- sis. The overall event selection efficiencies are high (> 80%) and the difference between iron and proton is small for the whole range of considered energies (see Table 1). Our cuts do not introduce any appreciable composition bias. We fi- xxxxx note that for the set of surviving events, the bias in the antees an EM contamination low enough to obtain an accu- µ X max reconstruction is between ± 10 g cm−2, regardless max rate value of Xµ .
