Identification of low energy neutral and charged cosmic ray events in large wide field observatories

L Apolinário, P. Assis, P. Brogueira +5

The lower energy thresholds of large wide-field gamma-ray observatories are often determined by their capability to deal with the very low-energy cosmic ray background. In fact, in…

Measurement of the Radiation Energy in the Radio Signal of Extensive Air Showers as a Universal Estimator of Cosmic-Ray Energy

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, Alexander Aab, Pedro Abreu +447

We measure the energy emitted by extensive air showers in the form of radio emission in the frequency range from 30 to 80 MHz. Exploiting the accurate energy scale of the Pierre Au…
