Geomagnetic Field and Air Shower Simulations
The influence of the geomagnetic field on the development of air showers is studied. The well known International Geomagnetic Reference Field was included in the AIRES air shower simulation program as an auxiliary tool to allow calculating very accurate estimations of the geomagnetic field given the geographic coordinates, altitude above sea level and date of a given event. Some test simulation...
متن کاملAir Shower Simulations with the AIRES System
A report on the characteristics of ultra-high energy air showers simulated with the AIRES program is presented. The AIRES system includes a fast simulating program which is an improved version of the wellknown MOCCA program. The AIRES algorithms are briefly described and a series of results coming from the simulations are analyzed.
متن کاملInfluence of Low Energy Hadronic Interactions on Air-shower Simulations
Experiments measuring cosmic rays above an energy of ∼ 10 eV deduce the energy and mass of the primary cosmic ray particles from air-shower simulations. We investigate the importance of hadronic interactions at low and high energies on the distributions of muons and electrons in showers on ground. In air shower simulation programs, hadronic interactions below an energy threshold in the range fr...
متن کاملSimulations of a Giant Hybrid Air Shower Detector
We have used Monte Carlo simulations to investigate the capabilities of a giant air shower observatory designed to detect showers initiated by cosmic rays with energies exceeding 10 19 eV. The observatory is to consist of an array of detectors that will characterise the air shower at ground level, and optical detectors to measure the uorescence light emitted by the shower in the atmosphere. Usi...
متن کاملThe AIRES system for air shower simulations . An update
A report on the characteristics of ultra-high energy air showers simulated with the current version of the AIRES program is presented. The AIRES system includes a fast simulating program, originally designed on the basis of the well-known MOCCA program, and progressively improved and tested. The AIRES algorithms are briefly described and some results coming from the simulations are analyzed.
