 When a particle with an energy above $1\;\TeV$ comes into contact with the atmosphere, secondary particles are generated, forming an air shower.
 This air shower consists of a cascade of interactions producing more particles that subsequently undergo further interactions.
 Thus, the number of particles rapidly increases further down the air shower.
