| 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. |
