Reconstruction of the muon production depth using gradient boosting

Original language description

The muonic component of extensive air showers (EAS) contains information about the mass composition of cosmic rays and hadronic interactions occurring early in the EAS development. While propagating through the atmosphere, muons lose a small fraction of their energy and deviate little from a straight-line trajectory, retaining information about their production points. It is, therefore, possible to reconstruct the Muon Production Depth (MPD) from the arrival time and position of muons measured by ground arrays of cosmic-ray observatories. The estimation of the kinematic delay, a quantity directly related to the energy of muons, is key for the MPD reconstruction. The existing kinematic delay parametrization, tailored to showers with zenith angles θ ~ 60° and muons arriving far from the shower core, represents the dominant contribution to the method’s systematic uncertainties. In this contribution, we extend the MPD reconstruction to showers.
