Investigation of the Properties of Galactic Cosmic Rays with the KASCADE-Grande Experiment

J. R. Hoerandel

The properties of galactic cosmic rays are investigated with the KASCADE-Grande experiment in the energy range between and eV. Recent results are discussed. The…

A new method to measure the attenuation of hadrons in extensive air showers

W. D. Apel

Extensive air showers are generated through interactions of high-energy cosmic rays impinging the Earth's atmosphere. A new method is described to infer the attenuation of hadrons…

Test of the hadronic interaction model EPOS with air shower data

Grande Collaboration, W. D. Apel

Predictions of the hadronic interaction model EPOS~1.61 as implemented in the air shower simulation program CORSIKA are compared to observations with the KASCADE experiment. The in…

Energy Spectra of Elemental Groups of Cosmic Rays: Update on the KASCADE Unfolding Analysis

KASCADE Collaboration, W. D. Apel

The KASCADE experiment measures extensive air showers induced by cosmic rays in the energy range around the so-called knee. The data of KASCADE have been used in a composition anal…

Frequency spectra of cosmic ray air shower radio emission measured with LOPES

A. Nigl

AIMS: We wish to study the spectral dependence of the radio emission from cosmic-ray air showers around 100 PeV (1017 eV). METHODS: We observe short radio pulses in a broad frequen…

Direction identification in radio images of cosmic-ray air showers detected with LOPES and KASCADE

A. Nigl

AIMS: We want to understand the emission mechanism of radio emission from air showers to determine the origin of high-energy cosmic rays. Therefore, we study the geometry of the ai…
