A study on the lateral distribution of Cherenkov light in extensive air showers
The dependence of the lateral distribution of Cherenkov light in simulated extensive air showers to the energy and the mass of the primary cosmic rays has been studied. It has been shown that a previous claim about mass independent proportionality of shower energy to the total Cherenkov photon number is not valid in energies below EEAS ~ 1014 eV. We have found that the core distance of the so c...
متن کاملAngular deviation of secondary charge particles in 1014-1016 eV extensive air showers: Constrains on application of hodoscopes
Deviation angles of secondary electrons and muons in simulated extensive air showers were studied. The angles have wide distribution, whose width depends on energy cuts imposed on shower particles. In this work, variation of deviation angles with the energy of secondary particles, shower energy, primary direction, and core distance was investigated. The results put limitations on application ...

متن کاملOn the mean logarithmic mass of cosmic rays derived from measurements of the average depth of the maximum of extensive air showers
The impact of properties of individual hadronic interactions like the inelastic cross section and the elasticity on the development of extensive air showers is investigated. Simulations of air showers are performed, their predictions are compared to measured values of integral muon multiplicities and the average depth of the shower maximum. Effects on the mean logarithmic mass derived from the ...

The nature and origin of ultra-high energy (UHE: referring to > 1019 eV) cosmic rays are great mysteries in modern astrophysics. The current theories for their explanation include the so-called ”top-down” decay scenarios whose main signature is a large ratio of UHE gamma rays to protons. Important step in determining the primary composition at ultra-high energies is the study of air shower deve...
متن کاملReinterpreting the development of extensive air showers initiated by nuclei and photons
Ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) interacting with the atmosphere generate extensive air showers (EAS) of secondary particles. The depth corresponding to the maximum development of the shower, Xmax, is a well-known observable for determining the nature of the primary cosmic ray which initiated the cascade process. In this paper, we present an empirical model to describe the distribution of...
