Impact of Varying Atmospheric Profiles on Extensive Air Shower Observation: Fluorescence Light Emission and Energy Reconstruction
B. Keilhauer, J. Bluemer, R. Engel +1
Several experiments measure the fluorescence light produced by extensive air showers in the atmosphere. This light is converted into a longitudinal shower profile from which inform…
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…
Galactic cosmic rays and the knee - Results from the KASCADE experiment
J. R. Hoerandel
Results from the KASCADE air shower experiment investigating the origin of cosmic rays in the energy region from 10^13 to 10^17 eV are presented. Attention is drawn on the investig…
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…
Universal lateral distribution of energy deposit in air showers and its application to shower reconstruction
D. Gora, R. Engel, D. Heck +6
The light intensity distribution in a shower image and its implications to the primary energy reconstructed by the fluorescence technique are studied. Based on detailed CORSIKA ene…
