Impact of muon detection thresholds on the separability of primary cosmic rays

Original language description

Knowledge of the mass composition of cosmic rays in the transition region of galactic to extragalactic cosmic rays allows to discriminate different astrophysical models on their origin, acceleration, and propagation. An important observable to separate different mass groups of cosmic rays is the number of muons in extensive air showers. We performed a CORSIKA simulation study to analyze the impact of the detection threshold of muons on the separation quality of different primary cosmic rays in the energy region of the ankle. Using only the number of muons as the composition-sensitive observable, we find a clear dependence of the separation power on the detection threshold for ideal measurements.n
