Sensitivity of Hybrid Particle Detectors to the Energy Spectra of Air Shower Components
P. Assis, R. Conceição, P. J. Costa +2
Measuring the energy spectrum of air shower components crucial for understanding primary cosmic rays and the physical processes governing their interactions in the atmosphere. Howe…
Innovative Approaches to Unravel the Shower Components' Energy Spectrum with a Single Hybrid Station
P. Assis, R. Conceição, P. J. Costa +3
Accurately measuring the energy of shower particles reaching the ground remains a challenge due to the inherent limitations of typical cosmic ray experiments. In this work, we pres…
Scaler rates from the Pierre Auger Observatory: a new proxy of solar activity
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, I. Bizzarri, C. Dionese +1
The modulation of low-energy galactic cosmic rays reflects interplanetary magnetic field variations and can provide useful information on solar activity. An array of ground-surface…
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…
