First Results of Fast One-dimensional Hybrid Simulation of EAS Using CONEX
T. Pierog, M. K. Alekseeva, T. Bergmann +8
A hybrid simulation code is developed that is suited for fast one-dimensional simulations of shower profiles, including fluctuations. It combines the Monte Carlo simulation of high…
On a possible photon origin of the most-energetic AGASA events
P. Homola, M. Risse, R. Engel +5
In this work the ultra high energy cosmic ray events recorded by the AGASA experiment are analysed. With detailed simulations of the extensive air showers initiated by photons, the…
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.…
Was the Highest Energy Cosmic Ray a Photon?
P. Homola, M. Risse, D. Gora +5
The hypothetical photonic origin of the most energetic air shower detected by the Fly's Eye experiment is discussed. The method used for the analysis is based on Monte Carlo simula…
Primary Proton Spectrum of Cosmic Rays measured with Single Hadrons
T. Antoni, KASCADE Collaboration
The flux of cosmic-ray induced single hadrons near sea level has been measured with the large hadron calorimeter of the KASCADE experiment. The measurement corroborates former resu…
Simulation of air shower image in fluorescence light based on energy deposits derived from CORSIKA
D. Gora, D. Heck, P. Homola +5
Spatial distributions of energy deposited by an extensive air shower in the atmosphere through ionization, as obtained from the CORSIKA simulation program, are used to find the flu…
