Simulation study of the correlation (X-max(mu), N-mu) in view of obtaining information on primary mass of the UHECRs

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

In this paper we study, using Monte Carlo simulations, the possibility to discriminate the mass of the Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECRs) by combining information obtained from the maximum X-max(mu) of the muon production rate longitudinal profile of Extensive Air Showers (EAS) and the number of muons, N-mu, which hit an array of detectors located in the horizontal plane. We investigate the sensitivity of the 2D distribution X-max(mu) versus N-mu to the mass of the primary particle generating the air shower. To this purpose we analyze a set of CORSIKA showers induced by protons and iron nuclei at energies of 10(19) eV and 10(20) eV, at five angles of incidence, 0 degrees, 37 degrees, 48 degrees, 55 degrees and 60 degrees.n
