Enhancing the cosmic-ray mass sensitivity of air-shower arrays by combining radio and muon detectors

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The muonic and electromagnetic components of air showers are sensitive to the mass of the primary cosmic particle. The sizes of the components can be measured with particle detectors on ground, and the electromagnetic component in addition indirectly via its radio emission in the atmosphere. The electromagnetic particles do not reach the ground for very inclined showers. On the contrary, the atmosphere is transparent for the radio emission and its footprint on ground increases with the zenith angle. Therefore, the radio technique offers a reliable detection over the full range of zenith angles, and in particular for inclined showers. In this work, the mass sensitivity of a combination of the radio emission with the muons is investigated in a case study for the site of the Pierre Auger Observatory using CORSIKA Monte Carlo simulations of showers in the EeV energy range.
