30TH INTERNATIONAL COSMIC RAY CONFERENCE Tests of hadronic interaction models with muon pseudorapidities measured with KASCADE-Grande
The Muon Tracking Detector in the KASCADE-Grande experiment allows the measurement of muon directions up to 700 m from the shower center. It means, that nearly all muons produced in a shower and surviving to the ground level are subject of investigation. It is important not only for studying mean muon production heights but also for investigations of EAS muon pseudorapidity distributions. These...
متن کاملLarge Muon Tracking Detector in the KASCADE EAS Experiment
Accurate measurements of the muon component in EAS are particularily important for determination of the primary CR spectrum and composition. Multiparameter analysis possibilities in KASCADE have been recently enhanced by starting the operation of a large area streamer tube muon tracking detector. With its acceptance of about 500 m·sr it identifies EAS muons with energy exceeding 0.8 GeV. The re...
متن کاملImprovement of the resolution of the muon tracking detector in the KASCADE experiment
A Muon Tracking Detector has been built up in an underground tunnel north of the centre of the KASCADE experiment. It measures muons and their directions in EAS by using Limited Streamer Tubes. For that purpose tracks with hits in 2 and 3 modules are considered, each hit consisting of a signal from a wire pair and from influence strips perpendicular to them. Diagonal strips are used to reduce a...
متن کاملProduction heights of muons determined with the Muon Tracking Detector of the KASCADE experiment
The capability of the Muon Tracking Detector to measure the radial and tangential angles of muons in extensive air showers, in combination with the shower direction as determined by the scintillator array of KASCADE experiment, has been investigated. Due to different characteristics in shower development of light and heavy primary particles the radial angle is sensitive to the mass of them. For...
متن کاملThe Electron / Muon Ratio in Eas at Andabove the " Knee
New data on the electron/muon ratio measured by the KASCADE extensive air shower experiment are presented. This ratio has been proven to be an important parameter for the determination of the mass of the primary particle. The electron and muon detector responses and reconstruction accuracies of the shower parameters have been studied in detailed simulations. Due to the extended lateral distribu...
