Measurement of the average electromagnetic longitudinal shower profile at the Pierre Auger Observatory

Abstract: In addition to the standard Xmax and energy, the longitudinal profiles of extensive air showers contain some more interesting information. For energies above 10[sup]17.8 eV, we present the average profiles as a function of atmospheric depth measured for the first time at the Pierre Auger Observatory. The profile shapes for different energy ranges are all well reproduced by a Gaisser-Hillas function within the range studied. A detailed analysis of the systematic uncertainties is performed using data and a full detector simulation, and the results are compared with predictions of hadronic interaction models for different primaries.

Measurements of Xmax above 10[sup]17 eV with the fluorescence detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory
Alessio Porcelli, Andrej Filipčič, Gašper Kukec Mezek, Ahmed Saleh, Samo Stanič, Marta Trini, Darko Veberič, Serguei Vorobiov, Lili Yang, Danilo Zavrtanik, Marko Zavrtanik, 2015, published scientific conference contribution

Abstract: For the first time the Pierre Auger Collaboration presents〈Xmax〉and σ(Xmax) measurements covering nearly three decades of energy. In this analysis we include new Xmax data obtained with the High Elevation Auger Telescopes (HEAT) enhancement. The HEAT telescopes cover a field of view ranging from 30◦ to 60◦ of elevation and are located next to one of the standard fluorescence detector sites (Coihueco). The combination of the HEAT and Coihueco telescopes covers a field of view from ∼2◦ up to ∼60◦ of elevation. Thus, the combination can sample the longitudinal profile of nearby lower energy showers, allowing us to extend the energy range down to 10[sup]17 eV.
