Muon content of ultra-high-energy air showers: Yakutsk data versus simulations
A. V. Glushkov, I. T. Makarov, M. I. Pravdin +4
We analyse a sample of 33 extensive air showers (EAS) with estimated primary energies above 2\cdot 10^{19} eV and high-quality muon data recorded by the Yakutsk EAS array. We compa…
Air-shower simulations with and without thinning: artificial fluctuations and their suppression
D. S. Gorbunov, G. I. Rubtsov, S. V. Troitsky
The most common way to simplify extensive Monte-Carlo simulations of air showers is to use the thinning approximation. We study its effect on the physical parameters reconstructed…
Constraining the fraction of primary gamma rays at ultra-high energies from the muon data of the Yakutsk extensive-air-shower array
A. V. Glushkov, D. S. Gorbunov, I. T. Makarov +4
By making use of the data on the total signal and on the muon component of the air showers detected by the Yakutsk array, we analyze, in the frameworks of the recently suggested ev…
