Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays versus Models of High Energy Hadronic Interactions
Blaž Bortolato, Jernej F. Kamenik, Michele Tammaro
We evaluate the consistency of hadronic interaction models in the CORSIKA simulation package with publicly available fluorescence telescope data from the Pierre Auger Observatory.…
Resolution of (Heavy) Primaries in Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays
Blaž Bortolato, Jernej F. Kamenik, Michele Tammaro
Measurements of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR) suggest a complex composition with significant contributions from heavy nuclei at the highest energies. We systematically expl…
Improving the Composition of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays with Ground Detector Data
Blaž Bortolato, Jernej F. Kamenik, Michele Tammaro
We show that the maximum shower depth distributions of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECRs), as measured by fluorescence telescopes, can be augmented by building a mapping to obs…
Learning the Composition of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays
Blaz Bortolato, Jernej F. Kamenik, Michele Tammaro
We apply statistical inference on the Pierre Auger Open Data to discern for the first time the full mass composition of cosmic rays at different energies. Working with longitudinal…
