2. Report of the Working Group on the Composition of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic RaysMarko Zavrtanik, Danilo Zavrtanik, Lili Yang, Serguei Vorobiov, Darko Veberič, Marta Trini, Samo Stanič, Ahmed Saleh, Gašper Kukec Mezek, Andrej Filipčič, Michael Unger, 2015, published scientific conference contribution Abstract: The atmospheric depth, Xmax, at which the particle number of
an air shower reaches its maximum is a good indicator for the
mass of the primary particle. We present a comparison of the
energy evolution of the mean of Xmax as measured by the
Telescope Array and c Collaborations. After
accounting for the different resolutions, acceptances and
analysis strategies of the two experiments, the two results are
found to be in good agreement within systematic uncertainties.
