Science Prospects for the Southern Wide-field Gamma-ray Observatory: SWGO
SWGO Collaboration, P. Abreu, R. Alfaro +303
Ground-based gamma-ray astronomy is now well established as a key observational approach to address critical topics at the frontiers of astroparticle physics and high-energy astrop…
A Heavy-Metal Scenario of Ultra-High-Energy Cosmic Rays
Jakub Vícha, Alena Bakalová, Ana L. Müller +2
The mass composition of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays is an open problem in astroparticle physics. It is usually inferred from the depth of the shower maximum (Xmax) of cosmic-ray…
Modification of the Dipole in Arrival Directions of Ultra-high-energy Cosmic Rays due to the Galactic Magnetic Field
Alena Bakalová, Jakub Vícha, Petr Trávníček
The direction and magnitude of the dipole anisotropy of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays with energies above 8 EeV observed by the Pierre Auger Observatory indicate their extragalacti…
Maximum entropy analysis of cosmic ray composition
Dalibor Nosek, Jan Ebr, Jakub Vícha +2
We focus on the primary composition of cosmic rays with the highest energies that cause extensive air showers in the Earth's atmosphere. A way of examining the two lowest order mom…
On the Combined Analysis of Muon Shower Size and Depth of Shower Maximum
J. Vicha, P. Travnicek, D. Nosek
The mass composition of ultra-high energy cosmic rays can be studied from the distributions of the depth of shower maximum and/or the muon shower size. Here, we study the dependenc…
Study of Dispersion of Mass Distribution of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays using a Surface Array of Muon and Electromagnetic Detectors
Jakub Vícha, Petr Trávníček, Dalibor Nosek +1
We consider a hypothetical observatory of ultra-high energy cosmic rays consisting of two surface detector arrays that measure independently electromagnetic and muon signals induce…
Depth of Maximum of Air-Shower Profiles at the Pierre Auger Observatory: Composition Implications
Pierre Auger Collaboration
Using the data taken at the Pierre Auger Observatory between December 2004 and December 2012, we have examined the implications of the distributions of depths of atmospheric shower…
On the methods to determine signal attenuation curve for different surface arrays
J. Vicha, P. Travnicek, D. Nosek +1
Large surface arrays of current cosmic ray experiments measure the signals of electromagnetic or muonic components or their combination. The correction to the zenith angle (the att…
