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…
Air shower fluorescence light simulations
Vitor de Souza, Henrique M. J. Barbosa, Carola Dobrigkeit
A new approach to simulate fluorescence photons produced in extensive air showers is described. A Monte Carlo program based on CORSIKA produces the fluorescence photons for each ch…
A method to estimate primary composition with the Auger Observatory
Luiz Americo de Carvalho, Carola Dobrigkeit
We explore the feasibility of estimating primary cosmic ray composition at ultra high energies from the sum of muon, electron and photon densities and the depth of maximum of exten…
