On a possible photon origin of the most-energetic AGASA events
P. Homola, M. Risse, R. Engel +5
In this work the ultra high energy cosmic ray events recorded by the AGASA experiment are analysed. With detailed simulations of the extensive air showers initiated by photons, the…
Was the Highest Energy Cosmic Ray a Photon?
P. Homola, M. Risse, D. Gora +5
The hypothetical photonic origin of the most energetic air shower detected by the Fly's Eye experiment is discussed. The method used for the analysis is based on Monte Carlo simula…
Simulation of air shower image in fluorescence light based on energy deposits derived from CORSIKA
D. Gora, D. Heck, P. Homola +5
Spatial distributions of energy deposited by an extensive air shower in the atmosphere through ionization, as obtained from the CORSIKA simulation program, are used to find the flu…
Primary Particle Type of the Most Energetic Fly's Eye Air Shower
M. Risse, P. Homola, D. Gora +3
The longitudinal profile of the most energetic cosmic-ray air shower measured so far, the event recorded by the Fly's Eye detector with a reconstructed primary energy of about 320…
