Analysis of extensive air showers with the hybrid code SENECA
Jeferson A. Ortiz, Vitor de Souza, Gustavo Medina-Tanco
The ultrahigh energy tail of the cosmic ray spectrum has been explored with unprecedented detail. For this reason, new experiments are exerting a severe pressure on extensive air s…
Analysis of shower size as estimator of extensive air shower energy
Vitor de Souza, Jeferson A. Ortiz, Gustavo Medina-Tanco +1
The fluorescence technique has been successfully used to detect ultrahigh energy cosmic rays by indirect measurements. The underlying idea is that the number of charged particles i…
Alternative energy estimation from the shower lateral distribution function
Vitor de Souza, Carlos O. Escobar, Joel Brito +2
The surface detector technique has been successfully used to detect cosmic ray showers for several decades. Scintillators or Cerenkov water tanks can be used to measure the number…
Lateral width of shower image in the Auger fluorescence detector
H. Barbosa, V. de Souza, C. Dobrigkeit +11
The impact of the lateral distribution of light in extensive air showers on the detection and reconstruction of shower profiles is investigated for the Auger fluorescence telescope…
Neural Networks as a Composition Diagnostic for Ultra-high Energy Cosmic Rays
Andre K. O. Tiba, Gustavo A. Medina-Tanco, Sergio J. Sciutto
We analyze here the possibility of studying mass composition in the Auger data sample using neural networks as a diagnostic tool. Extensive air showers were simulated using the AIR…
Fluorescence photons produced in air by extensive air showers
Vitor de Souza, Gustavo Medina-Tanco, Jeferson A. Ortiz
The air fluorescence technique has long been used to detect extensive air showers and to reconstruct its geometry and energy. The fluorescence photon yield of an electron in air is…
