Anomalous Air Showers and What They Reveal About Hadronic Interactions and Cosmic-ray Masses
Stijn Buitink, Vital De Henau, Sjoerd Bouma +28
The identification of the sources and acceleration mechanisms of cosmic rays require precise measurements of their mass composition. Currently, the most reliable method is to measu…
Measuring High-Energy Cosmic Particles with the SKA
Tim Huege, Katharine Mulrey, Sjoerd Bouma +28
The origin of high-energy cosmic rays remain one of astrophysics' greatest unsolved mysteries. SKA-Low will be able to measure air showers initiated by cosmic rays with unprecedent…
Origins of Cosmic Rays in the Galactic-extragalactic Transition Energy Range
A. Corstanje, S. Saha, S. Bouma +28
Cosmic rays arrive at Earth with energies ranging from to over eV. One of the open questions in high-energy cosmic ray science concerns the origin of the highest-e…
Using SKA-Low to Detect PeV Gamma-rays from Galactic Sources
Anna Nelles, Philipp Laub, Haoning He +28
Detecting so called PeVatrons is considered one of the prime goals of -ray astronomy. PeVatrons are astrophysical objects in the Galaxy that are sources of cosmic rays exceeding…
Depth of Maximum of Air-Shower Profiles above 10^17.7 eV Measured with the Fluorescence Detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Abdul Halim, P. Abreu +358
We present measurements of the depth of shower maximum, Xmax, for cosmic-ray-induced extensive air showers recorded by the fluorescence detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory ove…
Investigating double bump air showers with the SKA-Low
V. De Henau, S. Bouma, J. Bray +30
Double-bump showers are a rare class of extensive air showers (EAS) predicted by Monte Carlo simulations. They occur when a high-energy secondary particle, the leading particle, tr…
