1407: New Results of the HEGRA Air Shower Detector Complex

Recent highlight results obtained with the air shower detector complex HEGRA at the Canary island La Palma are presented. Observations and searches for γ sources above an energy of 500 GeV are covered, where special emphasis is put on the recent flaring activities of the Blazar Mkn 501. A second main research topic of the experiment is the measurement of the energy spectrum and the elemental co...

Algorithm for muon electromagnetic shower reconstruction

The ANTARES neutrino telescope is presently being built in the Mediterranean Sea at a depth of 2500 m. The primary aim of the experiment is the detection of high energy cosmic muon neutrinos, which are identified by the muons that are produced in charged current interactions. These muons are detected by measuring the Cerenkov light which they emit traversing the detector. Sometimes a high momen...

Electromagnetic Shower Development and Applications to Sampling

The application of electromagnetic theory to particle interactions is an old subject which represented one of the early successes in the study of particle interactions and fundamental forces. The ability to describe properties of electron, positron, and phc+ ton interactions has led to applications in numerous experimental devices used in high energy experiments. The subject is now considered t...

Cosmic Ray Results from the IceTop Air Shower Array

IceTop, the surface component of the IceCube neutrino telescope at the South Pole, is an air-shower array which will finally consist of 160 ice Cherenkov tanks at 80 stations spread over an area of 1 km. Currently 40 stations are deployed and taking data. The detector is designed to cover the energy range above the knee up to about 10 eV and study the mass composition of primary cosmic rays. In...
