KASCADE extensive air shower experiment
The main aim of the KASCADE extensive air shower (EAS) experiment is the determination of the chemical composition of cosmic rays in the energy range around and above the knee at Ek ≈ 3 PeV. A large number of observables is measured simultaneously for each individual event, by the combination of various detection techniques for the electromagnetic, the muonic, and the hadronic component of the ...
متن کاملThe Extensive Air Shower Experiment Kascade - First Results
The extensive air shower (EAS) experiment KASCADE has started its operation at the laboratory site of the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe, at 49 N, 8 E, 110 m above sea level. It consists of an extended (200 200m 2) array of electron detectors and muon detectors as well as of a compact and complex central detector system. The latter contains a dense scintillator matrix, muon tracking detectors, a s...
متن کاملOne-dimensional Hybrid Approach to Extensive Air Shower Simulation
An efficient scheme for one-dimensional extensive air shower simulation and its implementation in the program CONEX are presented. Explicit Monte Carlo simulation of the high-energy part of hadronic and electromagnetic cascades in the atmosphere is combined with a numeric solution of cascade equations for smaller energy sub-showers to obtain accurate shower predictions. The developed scheme all...
متن کاملHe 2.1.1 the Status of the Extensive Air Shower Experiment Kascade
The extensive air shower (EAS) experiment KASCADE has been installed at the laboratory site of the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe. It consists of an extended array of electron detectors and muon detectors as well as of a compact and complex central detector system. The latter contains a scintillator matrix, muon detectors, and a large hadron calorimeter. The main aim of the KASCADE project is the ...
متن کاملOn the optimum distance for signal-energy mapping in extensive air shower arrays
In high energy cosmic rays surface arrays, the primary energy is currently determined from the value of the lateral distribution function (LDF) at a fixed optimum distance ropt from the shower core. The value of ropt is mainly related to the geometry of the array and is, therefore, considered as fixed independently of the shower energy or direction. Here, we demonstrate that the dependence of r...
