Search for Ultra-high Energy Photons Using Air Showers
The observation of photons with energies above 10 eV would open a new window in cosmic-ray research, with possible impact on astrophysics, particle physics, cosmology and fundamental physics. Current and planned air shower experiments, particularly the Pierre Auger Observatory, offer an unprecedented opportunity to search for such photons and to complement efforts of multi-messenger observation...
متن کاملMuon content of ultra-high-energy air showers: Yakutsk data versus simulations
We analyse a sample of 33 extensive air showers (EAS) with estimated primary energies above 2·1019 eV and high-quality muon data recorded by the Yakutsk EAS array. We compare, event-by-event, the observed muon density to that expected from CORSIKA simulations for primary protons and iron, using SIBYLL and EPOS hadronic interaction models. The study suggests the presence of two distinct hadronic...
متن کاملA Search for New Particles Produced by High Energy Photons*
A search for new particle s which might be produced by photons of energy up to 18 GeV is described. No new particles were found. Calculations of the Beth&-Heitler process are described which make it possible to state that this exper.iment would have detected non-strongly interacting particles whose mass and lifetime lay in a definite range, did they exist.
متن کاملDouble Pair Production by Ultra High Energy Cosmic Ray Photons
Using CompHEP package we’ve made the detailed estimate of the influence of double ee pair production (DPP) by photons on the propagation of ultra high energy electromagnetic (EM) cascade. We show that in the models in which cosmic ray photons energy reaches few×103 EeV refined DPP analysis may lead to substantial difference in predicted photon spectrum compared to previous rough estimates.
متن کاملSearch for Ultra-High Energy Photons with the Pierre Auger Observatory
Data taken at the Pierre Auger Observatory are used to search for air showers initiated by ultra-high energy (UHE) photons. Results of searches are reported from hybrid observations where events are measured with both fluorescence and array detectors. Additionally, a more stringent test of the photon fluxes predicted with energies above 10 eV is made using a larger data set measured using only ...
