Study of the muon content of very high-energy EAS measured with the KASCADE-Grande observatory

J. C. Arteaga-Velazquez, W. D. Apel, K. Bekk +54

The KASCADE-Grande detector is an air-shower array devoted to the study of primary cosmic rays with very high-energies (E = 10^{16} - 10^{18} eV). The instrument is composed of dif…

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…

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…

Progress in Air Shower Radio Measurements: Detection of Distant Events

W. D. Apel, T. Asch, A. F. Badea +1

Data taken during half a year of operation of 10 LOPES antennas (LOPES-10), triggered by EAS observed with KASCADE-Grande have been analysed. We report about the analysis of correl…
