CORSIKA 8: A General Framework for Particle Cascade Simulations
J. M. Alameddine, J. Albrecht, A. A Alves +34
The simulation of extensive air showers and particle cascades in general is a cornerstone of modern astroparticle physics. For more than two decades, CORSIKA, currently in version…
Measuring the muon content of inclined air showers using AERA and the water-Cherenkov detectors of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Abdul Halim, P. Abreu +360
We present a novel approach for assessing the muon content of air showers with large zenith angles on a combined analysis of their radio emission and particle footprint. We use the…
Radio Measurements of the Depth of Air-Shower Maximum at the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Abdul Halim, P. Abreu +372
The Auger Engineering Radio Array (AERA), part of the Pierre Auger Observatory, is currently the largest array of radio antenna stations deployed for the detection of cosmic rays,…
Demonstrating Agreement between Radio and Fluorescence Measurements of the Depth of Maximum of Extensive Air Showers at the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Abdul Halim, P. Abreu +372
We show, for the first time, radio measurements of the depth of shower maximum () of air showers induced by cosmic rays that are compared to measurements of the estab…
Road map for the tuning of hadronic interaction models with accelerator-based and astroparticle data
Johannes Albrecht, Julia Becker Tjus, Noah Behling +52
In high-energy and astroparticle physics, event generators play an essential role, even in the simplest data analyses. As analysis techniques become more sophisticated, e.g. based…
From collider to cosmic rays: Pythia 8/Angantyr for air shower simulations in CORSIKA 8
Chloé Gaudu, Maximilian Reininghaus, Felix Riehn
The simulation of extensive air showers is pivotal for advancing our understanding of high-energy cosmic ray interactions in Earth's atmosphere. The CORSIKA 8 framework is being de…
