POSSIBLE CAUSES OF FIRES IN THE FOREST
Sokurov V.F.
Considered one of the possible reasons of emergence of fires in the taiga. It is shown that the cause of the fire may be the release of energy in the interaction of primary particles with the Earth's atmosphere.

Consider the impact of the flow of protons with energy E = 1020 eV the atmosphere. The number of substances covered by the proton can be found from the following considerations.

t = 1000 g/cm2.

The path length of the proton, relatively strong nuclear interaction [4]:

λ = 70 g/cm2 ,

The coefficient of inelasticity [2,3]:

K = 0,5,

that is, the proton is experiencing about 15 interactions.

Therefore, energy released from a single particle is:

∆W = 10 J.

With the passage of primary cosmic particles in the environment as a result of strong, weak nuclear and electromagnetic interactions in the atmosphere generated by the electromagnetic avalanche [4].

The number of secondary particles (N_s) in the atmosphere at sea level, the development of the cascading process is determined from the experimental dependence [3]:

lgN_s=lgρ_600+4,44-lg(b-2)+b 0,98

where b=φ(θ,ρ_600) -dependence, determined from the measurement data with a value р6оо = (2,0-20,0) cm-2 in the range of Zenith angles

θ = 0° - 45°:

b=3,54-of 2.16(1-cos)+0,15lgρ_600 .

Values р6оо given the mileage of the absorption is known from measurements, find the average function of the spatial distribution (lateral distribution) of charged particles [4]:

f(r)= (N_0 (b-2))/(2πr_0^2 )(〖r/r_0 )〗^(-1) 〖(1+ r/r_0 )〗^(-(b-1)) m^(-2) ,

where go - malerovsky radius, an average of th ≈ 70 m; Ns is the average number of charged particles that characterize the ensemble of showers with р6оо [3].

The main contribution of secondary particles in extensive air shower at the boundary air - to-ground, NAAA a distance of 0.5 m from the shower axis. One proton can create up to 1011 secondary particles [3].

The flux density of secondary particles is ≈105 m-2 .

The result is a cascade development of electromagnetic avalanches from each particle is formed of ≈108 secondary nucleons and mesons. Thus, the released energy is ≈1027 eV.

Given the flow of secondary particles created in the atmosphere, the total energy released would amount to 1032 eV.

Each proton produces an energy of ≈10 MeV.

The Coulomb barrier for protons is E = K*q2/r (2 MeV).

Consequently, the protons closer to the distance less 1ферми that creates a condition for a thermonuclear fusion reaction:

H12 + H12→ Не23+ n01 + E

The speed of the particle v0 = ßc, where the relative speed β = 1, the speed of propagation of electromagnetic signal in the medium v = C/n, where n > 1.

That is, v0 > v.

As a result, the processes of thermonuclear fusion are coherent, with a volume of ≈ 0.5 m3 instantly energy ≈ 1013 joules.

That is microthermometry an explosion inside the considered volume. Medium temperature will be ≈ 105 K.

For dry wood creates the fire.

Consider the number of fires over the summer period.

The intensity of the flux of primary particles with enegia 1020 eV is

10-16 s-1 cm-2.

The taiga area of about 107 m2. Therefore, in the year of 102 possible cases. Within six months, - 50 cases.

Conclusion.

The conclusion is that one of the possible causes of fires in the taiga is a super dynamic effects of the particles on the environment.
