Muon production in extensive air showers and its relation to hadronic interactions
C. Meurer, J. Bluemer, R. Engel +2
In this work, the relation between muon production in extensive air showers and features of hadronic multiparticle production at low energies is studied. Using CORSIKA, we determin…
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…
Atmospheric Profiles at the Southern Pierre Auger Observatory and their Relevance to Air Shower Measurement
B. Keilhauer, J. Bluemer, R. Engel +8
The dependence of atmospheric conditions on altitude and time have to be known at the site of an air shower experiment for accurate reconstruction of extensive air showers and thei…
On the primary particle type of the most energetic Fly's Eye event
M. Risse, P. Homola, R. Engel +5
The longitudinal profile of the 320 EeV event observed by the Fly's Eye experiment is analysed. A method of testing the hypothesis of a specific primary particle type is described.…
