| 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. |
