A muon-based observable to detect photons at ultra-high energies
Original language description
The observation of an ultra-high energy photon component in the cosmic radiation is one of the open problems in Astroparticle Physics. The stringent theoretical and experimental upper limits to the photon flux above 100TeV make the search of a weak photon signal in the vast hadronic cosmic ray background a challenging task. At these energies, photon primaries entering the atmosphere develop an extensive air shower which is driven by electromagnetic processes with a poor muon production. The muon content is one of the most promising observables leading to the discrimination between photons and hadronic cosmic rays.n
