Fluorescence in damp air and comments on the radiative life time
N. Sakaki, K. Kobayakawa, M. Nagano +1
Photon yields in damp air excited by an electron using a Sr90 source are compared withthose in dry air. Water vapors considerably reduce the yields, however, a further study is…
New measurement on photon yields from air and the application to the energy estimation of primary cosmic rays
M. Nagano, K. Kobayakawa, N. Sakaki +1
The air fluorescence technique is used to detect ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECR), and to estimate their energy. Of fundamental importance is the photon yield due to excitatio…
Photon yields from nitrogen gas and dry air excited by electrons
M. Nagano, K. Kobayakawa, N. Sakaki +1
In order to detect ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays (UHECR), atmospheric fluorescence light from the trajectory of the extensive air shower may be measured by mirror-photosensor system…
Energy determination in the Akeno Giant Air Shower Array experiment
M. Takeda, N. Sakaki, K. Honda +29
Using data from more than ten-years of observations with the Akeno Giant Air Shower Array (AGASA), we published a result that the energy spectrum of ultra-high energy cosmic rays e…
Updated AGASA event list above 4x10^19eV
N. Hayashida, K. Honda, N. Inoue +26
After our Ap.J. publication of the Akeno Giant Air Shower Array (AGASA) results in 1999 (Takeda et al., 1999), we observed nine events with energies above 4 10eV un…
Comparison of AGASA data with CORSIKA simulation
M. Nagano, D. Heck, K. Shinozaki +2
An interpretation of AGASA (Akeno Giant Air Shower Array) data by comparing the experimental results with the simulated ones by CORSIKA (COsmic Ray SImulation for KASCADE) has been…
