Observing cosmic-ray extensive air showers with a silicon imaging detector [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Extensive air showers induced from high-energy cosmic rays provide a window into understanding the most energetic phenomena in the universe. We present a new method for observing these showers using the silicon imaging detector Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam ...

Quark Matter Induced Extensive Air Showers [PDF]
Physical Review D, 2011 If the dark matter of our galaxy is composed of nuggets of quarks or antiquarks in a colour superconducting phase there will be a small but non-zero flux of these objects through the Earth's atmosphere.

Report on Tests and Measurements of Hadronic Interaction Properties with Air Showers [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2019 We present a summary of recent tests and measurements of hadronic interaction properties with air showers. This report has a special focus on muon density measurements. Several experiments reported deviations between simulated and recorded muon densities

Dethinning Extensive Air Shower Simulations [PDF]
Astroparticle Physics, 2012 We describe a method for restoring information lost during statistical thinning in extensive air shower simulations. By converting weighted particles from thinned simulations to swarms of particles with similar characteristics, we obtain a result that is

Nitrogen fluorescence in air for observing extensive air showers
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013 Extensive air showers initiate the fluorescence emissions from nitrogen molecules in air. The UV-light is emitted isotropically and can be used for observing the longitudinal development of extensive air showers in the atmosphere over tenth of kilometers.

LHC data and extensive air showers [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013 Currently the uncertainty in the prediction of shower observables for different primary particles and energies is dominated by differences between hadronic interaction models.

Neutrons in simulations of extensive air showers [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2023 We study neutrons produced in simulations of extensive air showers. By using the Monte Carlo simulation package Fluka, our examination is able to extend from the highest energy neutrons, produced in hadronic interactions, all the way down to thermal ...

Timing detectors setup prototype for determining EAS axis direction
Вестник. Серия физическая, 2021 This work presents a prototype setup for determining extensive air showers (EAS) axis direction. The detector system consists of four scintillation detectors (100x100x1 cm) using wavelength-shifted fibers light collection.
