Energy spectrum and elemental composition of cosmic rays in the PeV region Recent results and future prospects of the KASCADE experiment
KASCADE (KArlsruhe Shower Core and Array DEtector) is determining flux spectra for different primary mass groups to disentangle the knee feature of the primary cosmic-ray energy spectrum. The energy spectra of the light element groups result in a knee-like bending and a steepening above the knee. The topology of the individual knee positions suggests a rigidity dependence. To proof the rigidity...
متن کاملeV cosmic rays by studying the ratio muon size to shower size of KASCADE-Grande data
KASCADE-Grande is an air-shower observatory devoted to the study of cosmic rays with energies in the range 10−10 eV. In KASCADE-Grande, different detector systems allow independent measurements of the number of muons (Nμ) and charged particles (Nch) of air showers, which are the basis for several energy and composition studies of cosmic rays. In this contribution, a composition analysis using t...
متن کاملExperimental Information on the Mass Composition of Primary Cosmic Rays Using the KASCADE array
A procedure is proposed to extract experimental information about the primary cosmic Ray composition from the data taken with the KASCADE setup.
متن کاملKASCADE extensive air shower experiment
The main aim of the KASCADE extensive air shower (EAS) experiment is the determination of the chemical composition of cosmic rays in the energy range around and above the knee at Ek ≈ 3 PeV. A large number of observables is measured simultaneously for each individual event, by the combination of various detection techniques for the electromagnetic, the muonic, and the hadronic component of the ...
متن کاملComment on ‘ ‘ Determining energy spectra for separate mass groups from EAS : the quest is still on ’ ’ q KASCADE Collaboration
In a recent publication Schatz [Astropart. Phys. (2003), this issue] argues that unambiguous results about energy distributions of primary cosmic-ray mass groups can only be obtained from measured air shower observables if their mutual correlations are explicitly taken into account. This statement is used to challenge preliminary results presented by the KASCADE Collaboration at the Internation...
متن کامل30TH INTERNATIONAL COSMIC RAY CONFERENCE Reconstruction of primary mass group energy spectra with KASCADE
The KASCADE-Grande experiment was designed for the measurement of extensive air showers induced by cosmic rays of the knee region, i.e. with energies between 0.5 PeV and 1 EeV. Main focus of the experiment is the precise determination of energy and composition of the primary cosmic rays, thus clarifying the nature of the knee. Data of the preceding KASCADE experiment have been used in a composi...
