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…
The Effect of Non Gaussian Errors on the Determination of Steeply Falling Spectra
C. O. Escobar, L. G. dos Santos, R. A. Vazquez
The determination of a steeply falling energy spectrum from rare events with non-gaussian measurement errors is a delicate matter. The final shape of the spectrum may be severely d…
Gamma Ray Bursts as seen by a Giant Air Shower Array
C. O. Escobar, P. L. Da Silva, R. A. Vázquez
The potentiality of a Giant Shower Array to low energy gamma rays from gamma ray bursts is discussed. Effective areas are calculated for different scenarios and the results are enc…
