Measurement of the Fluctuations in the Number of Muons in Extensive Air Showers with the Pierre Auger Observatory [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2021
We present the first measurement of the fluctuations in the number of muons in extensive air showers produced by ultrahigh energy cosmic rays. We find that the measured fluctuations are in good agreement with predictions from air shower simulations. This

Neutrons in extensive air showers

Physics of Atomic Nuclei, 2007
The main properties of the so-called neutron bursts produced by the passage of extensive air showers (EASs) through a detector array and the properties of these EASs are considered using the experiments that are being or have been carried out previously with the Carpet-2 array at Baksan Neutrino Observatory of the Institute for Nuclear Research ...

Extensive air showers

Il Nuovo Cimento C, 1996
In the following report, we shall have a look at the new results presented at this Conference, obtained using EAS investigations, and the progress made in the years since the last ICRC. We shall only touch upon our understanding of the phenomenology of EAS and its bearing on astrophysics, like the energy spectrum, composition and anisotropy of the ...

Studies on extensive air showers

Il Nuovo Cimento, 1961
A study of the fluctuations in the densities of N-particles in extensive air showers has been carried out with a set-up consisting of five N-detectors located at the centre of an array of scintillators. Air showers were grouped according to their size and the distance of the core from the N-detectors.

KASCADE extensive air shower experiment

SPIE Proceedings, 2003
The main aim of the KASCADE extensive air shower (EAS) experiment is the determination of the chemical composition of cosmic rays in the energy range around and above the knee at Ek ≈ 3 PeV. A large number of observables are measured simultaneously for each individual event, by the combination of various detection techniques for the electromagnetic ...

On the $${\mathcal{N}}$$ -component in extensive air showers-component in extensive air showers

Il Nuovo Cimento, 1960
According toNikolskijet al. (1957), the number of nuclear-active (\({\mathcal{N}}\)) particles in air showers increases fairly slowly, asE0.2, for showers ranging in energy from 1013 eV to 1015 eV. At energies >1015 eV the increase is more rapid and is ∝E.

Anisotropy of Extensive Air Showers

Physical Review Letters, 1962
A search for an anisotropic component in primary cosmic radiation was conducted. Heavy nuclei at high energies were considered. An apparent anisotropy led to tentative conclusions that several % of the radiation at 10/sup 16/ to 10/sup 18/ ev is produced by heavy primaries and that the maximum intensity is at right angles to the axis of the galactic ...
