Energy Spectra of Elemental Groups of Cosmic Rays: Update on the KASCADE Unfolding Analysis
KASCADE Collaboration, W. D. Apel
The KASCADE experiment measures extensive air showers induced by cosmic rays in the energy range around the so-called knee. The data of KASCADE have been used in a composition anal…
Dependence of geosynchrotron radio emission on the energy and depth of maximum of cosmic ray showers
T. Huege, R. Ulrich, R. Engel
Based on CORSIKA and REAS2 simulations, we investigate the dependence of geosynchrotron radio emission from extensive air showers on the energy of the primary cosmic ray and the de…
Applying Shower Development Universality to KASCADE Data
W. D. Apel, A. F. Badea, K. Bekk +31
On basis of the theorem of a universal shower development stating that a hadronically generated extensive air shower is completely described by the primary energy, the position of…
Latest Results from the Air Shower Simulation Programs CORSIKA and CONEX
T. Pierog, R. Engel, D. Heck +2
Interpretation of EAS measurements strongly depends on detailed air shower simulations. The uncertainty in the prediction of shower observables for different primary particles and…
Reconstruction of Longitudinal Profiles of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Ray Showers from Fluorescence and Cherenkov Light Measurements
M. Unger, B. R. Dawson, R. Engel +2
We present a new method for the reconstruction of the longitudinal profile of extensive air showers induced by ultra-high energy cosmic rays. In contrast to the typically considere…
Altitude dependence of fluorescence light emission by extensive air showers
B. Keilhauer, J. Bluemer, R. Engel +1
Fluorescence light is induced by extensive air showers while developing in the Earth's atmosphere. The number of emitted fluorescence photons depends on the conditions of the air a…
