: a high resolution gamma/hadron and composition discriminant variable for Water-Cherenkov Detector cosmic-ray observatories
Ruben Conceição, Pedro J. Costa, Lucio Gibilisco +2
The precise and efficient identification of the nature of the primary cosmic rays on an event-by-event basis stands as a fundamental aspiration for any cosmic ray observatory. In p…
The gamma/hadron discriminator in realistic air shower array experiments
R. Conceição, P. J. Costa, L. Gibilisco +2
In this article, it is shown that the and variables, recently introduced as an effective way to discriminate gamma and proton-induced showers in large wide-field gamma-…
Azimuthal fluctuations and number of muons at the ground in muon-depleted proton air showers at PeV energies
A. Bakalová, R. Conceição, L. Gibilisco +4
Muon counting is an effective strategy for discriminating between gamma and hadron-initiated air showers. However, their detection, which requires shielded detectors, is highly exp…
