18. Azimuthal asymmetry in the risetime of the surface detector signals of the Pierre Auger ObservatoryA. Aab, Andrej Filipčič, Gašper Kukec Mezek, Ahmed Saleh, Samo Stanič, Marta Trini, Darko Veberič, Serguei Vorobiov, Lili Yang, Danilo Zavrtanik, Marko Zavrtanik, 2016, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The azimuthal asymmetry in the risetime of signals in Auger surface detector stations is a source of information on shower development. The azimuthal asymmetry is due to a combination of the longitudinal evolution of the shower and geometrical effects related to the angles of incidence of the particles into the detectors. The magnitude of the effect depends upon the zenith angle and state of development of the shower and thus provides a novel observable, (secθ)max, sensitive to the mass composition of cosmic rays above 3×1018 eV. By comparing measurements with predictions from shower simulations, we find for both of our adopted models of hadronic physics (QGSJETII-04 and EPOS-LHC) an indication that the mean cosmic-ray mass increases slowly with energy, as has been inferred from other studies. However, the mass estimates are dependent on the shower model and on the range of distance from the shower core selected. Thus the method has uncovered further deficiencies in our understanding of shower modeling that must be resolved before the mass composition can be inferred from (secθ)max.

19. Measurement of the muon content in air showers at the Pierre Auger ObservatoryLaura Collica, Andrej Filipčič, Gašper Kukec Mezek, Ahmed Saleh, Samo Stanič, Marta Trini, Darko Veberič, Serguei Vorobiov, Lili Yang, Danilo Zavrtanik, Marko Zavrtanik, 2015, objavljeni znanstveni prispevek na konferenci Opis: The muon content of extensive air showers is an
observable sensitive to the primary composition and to
the hadronic interaction properties. We present here
different methods which allow us to estimate the muon number
at the ground level and the muon production depth by
exploiting the measurement of the longitudinal, lateral and
temporal distribution of particles in air showers recorded at
the Pierre Auger Observatory. The results, obtained at about
10[sup]19 eV (E[inf]CM ∼ 140 TeV center-of-mass energy for
proton primaries), are compared to the predictions
of LHC-tuned hadronic interaction models with different primary
masses and suggest a deficit in the muon content at the
ground predicted by simulations. The Pierre Auger Observatory
uses water-Cherenkov detectors to measure particle
densities at the ground and therefore has a good
sensitivity to the muon content of air showers. Moreover, due
to its hybrid design, the combination of muon measurements with
other independent mass composition analyses such as Xmax
provides additional constraints on hadronic interaction models. Ključne besede: Pierre Auger Observatory, ultra-high energy cosmic rays, muons, mass composition, hadronic interactions Objavljeno v RUNG: 03.03.2016; Ogledov: 4782; Prenosov: 218 Celotno besedilo (298,46 KB) |
