30TH INTERNATIONAL COSMIC RAY CONFERENCE Electric Storm Effects on the Soft and Hard Cosmic Ray Components Observed in Mexico City
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effects of thunderstorms on the electromagnetic and muon components of the cosmic ray secondary flux were studied during severe storms obtained in 2004, analyzing the variations of the counting rates shown in the upper and lower scintillators of the muon telescope installed in Mexico City and considering the data of storms report for the international airport of Mexico City.

30TH INTERNATIONAL COSMIC RAY CONFERENCE Direct Measurements, Acceleration and Propagation of Cosmic Rays
This paper summarizes highlights of the OG1 session of the 30th International Cosmic Ray Conference, held in Merida (Yucatan, Mexico). The subsessions (OG1.1, OG1.2, OG1.3, OG1.4 and OG1.5) summarized here were mainly devoted to direct measurements, acceleration and propagation of cosmic rays.
متن کامل30TH INTERNATIONAL COSMIC RAY CONFERENCE The end of the Galactic spectrum
We use a diffusion galactic model to analyze the end of the Galactic cosmic ray spectrum and its mixing with the extragalactic cosmic ray flux. We analyze the transition between Galactic and extragalactic components using two different extragalactic models. We compare the sum of the diffusive galactic spectrum and extragalactic spectrum with the available experimental data.
متن کامل30TH INTERNATIONAL COSMIC RAY CONFERENCE Shower evolution and radio emission of air showers in thunderstorm electric fields
The radio emission from cosmic ray air showers consists in large part of geosynchrotron radiation. Since the radiation mechanism is based on particle acceleration, atmospheric electric fields may play an important role. LOPES results show that electric fields under fair weather conditions do not alter the radio emission considerably, but during thunderstorms strongly amplified pulses are measur...
متن کاملA study on the lateral distribution of Cherenkov light in extensive air showers
The dependence of the lateral distribution of Cherenkov light in simulated extensive air showers to the energy and the mass of the primary cosmic rays has been studied. It has been shown that a previous claim about mass independent proportionality of shower energy to the total Cherenkov photon number is not valid in energies below EEAS ~ 1014 eV. We have found that the core distance of the so c...
متن کامل30TH INTERNATIONAL COSMIC RAY CONFERENCE Observations of the Pulsar PSR B1951+32 with the Solar Tower Atmospheric Cherenkov Effect Experiment
We present the analysis and results of 12.5 hours of high-energy gamma-ray observations of the EGRET-detected pulsar PSR B1951+32 using the Solar Tower Atmospheric Cherenkov Effect Experiment (STACEE). STACEE is an atmospheric Cherenkov detector, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, that detects cosmic gamma rays using the shower-front-sampling technique. STACEE’s sensitivity to astrophysical sources at...
