Estimation of the number of muons with muon counters
Original language description
The origin and nature of the cosmic rays is still uncertain. However, a big progress has been achieved in recent years due to the good quality data provided by current and recent cosmic-rays observatories. The cosmic ray flux decreases very fast with energy in such a way that for energies greater than or similar to 10(15) eV, the study of these very energetic particles is performed by using ground based detectors. These detectors are able to detect the atmospheric air showers generated by the cosmic rays as a consequence of their interactions with the molecules of the Earth's atmosphere. One of the most important observables that can help to understand the origin of the cosmic rays is the composition profile as a function of primary energy. Since the primary particle cannot be observed directly, its chemical composition has to be inferred from parameters of the showers that are very sensitive to the primary mass.
