| 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. |
