Characteristics of geomagnetic cascading of ultra-high energy photons at the southern and northern sites of the Pierre Auger Observatory
P. Homola, M. Risse, R. Engel +4
Cosmic-ray photons above 10^19 eV can convert in the geomagnetic field and initiate a preshower, i.e. a particle cascade before entering the atmosphere. We compare the preshower ch…
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…
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…
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.…
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…
Simulation of Ultra-High Energy Photon Propagation in the Geomagnetic Field
P. Homola, D. Gora, D. Heck +5
The identification of primary photons or specifying stringent limits on the photon flux is of major importance for understanding the origin of ultra-high energy (UHE) cosmic rays.…
