A Data-driven Heavy-Metal Scenario for Ultra-High-Energy Cosmic Rays
Jakub VÃcha, Alena Bakalová, Ana L. Müller +2
The mass composition of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) is usually inferred from the depth of the shower maximum () of cosmic-ray showers, which is only ambigu…

On the Origin of Ultra-high-energy Cosmic Rays Assuming a Heavy Mass Composition
Alena Bakalová, Ana Laura Müller, Jakub VÃcha
Recent studies, supported by updated hadronic interaction models, suggest that the mass composition of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays may be heavier than previously assumed. This ha…

Hybrid concept of detection for a wide-field gamma-ray observatory using Cherenkov telescopes
Alena Bakalová, Ruben Conceição, Lucio Gibilisco +6
The hybrid detection approach in astroparticle physics has been successfully employed in cosmic-ray experiments and is currently being explored by gamma-ray observatories like LHAA…
