On UHECR energy estimation algorithms based on the measurement of electromagnetic component parameters in EAS
arXiv:0704.3475 · doi:10.1134/S1028335807100035
Abstract
Model calculations are performed of extensive air shower (EAS) component energies using a variety of hadronic interaction parameters. A conversion factor from electromagnetic component energy to the energy of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) and its model and primary mass dependence is studied. It is shown that model dependence of the factor minimizes under the necessary condition of the same maximum position and muon content of simulated showers.
