Simple and less hadronic-model-dependent method for cosmic-ray composition determination
Original language description
The origin and nature of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays remains a mystery despite the great progress that has been made in recent years mainly due to the observations performed by the Pierre Auger Observatory and Telescope Array. In particular, the composition information of the cosmic rays as a function of the energy appears to be crucial for the understanding of their origin. The best observables for primary mass composition are the muon content of extensive air showers and the atmospheric depth of the shower maximum development. In this work we present a novel method which allows us to use any type of classification method to perform mass composition analyses based on the number of muons.n
