    Probing High-Energy Cosmic Rays with the KM3NeT/ARCA Neutrino Telescope
    (Université Badji Mokhtar Annaba, 2025) BOUASLA, Amani Besma
    Cosmic rays are charged particles, primarily protons and atomic nuclei, that strike the Earth from a ll directions with very high energies. When they enter the atmosphere, they interact with air atoms and generate cascades of secondary particles known as extensive air showers. Among these, muons play a particularly important role: they carry information about the primary cosmic ray and are able to penetrate deep underground or underwater, reaching detectors such as the KM3NeT/ARCA neutrino telescope. Located in the Mediterranean Sea, ARCA is a very large-volume neutrino detector capable of probing cosmic rays in the TeV-PeV energy range through the detection of atmospheric muons, which constitute the majority of events it records. The goal of this thesis is to study high-energy cosmic rays using atmospheric muons observed with KM3NeT/ARCA, with a primary focus on investigating the anisotropy in their arrival directions in the TeV-PeV rang.
