0 The Multiply Scattering Effect on the Energy Measure - ment of UHE Cosmic Rays using Atmospheric Fluores - cence Technique
نویسنده
چکیده
Point sources in the atmosphere are surrounded by aureole because of atmospheric scattering. The properties of the time-dependent aureole radiance are calculated by use of a Monte Carlo approach and an iterative method. Since the aureole is particularly important in the ultraviolet, which is the region the Ultra-High-Energy (UHE) cosmic ray experiment using the air fluorescence technique like Fly’s Eye or High-Resolution-Fly’s-Eye(HiRes) are set in. The effect of the multiply scatteing on the energy measurement is studied.

Energy Estimation of UHE Cosmic Rays using the Atmospheric Fluorescence Technique
We use the CORSIKA air shower simulation program to review the method for assigning energies to ultra-high energy (UHE) cosmic rays viewed with the air fluorescence technique. This technique uses the atmosphere as a calorimeter, and we determine the corrections that must be made to the calorimetric energy to yield the primary cosmic ray energy.

The Southern part of the Pierre Auger Observatory is nearing completion, and has been in stable operation since January 2004 while it has grown in size. The large sample of data collected so far has led to a significant improvement in the measurement of the energy spectrum of UHE cosmic rays over that previously reported by the Pierre Auger Observatory, both in statistics and in systematic unce...

متن کاملAcceleration of UHE Cosmic Rays in Gamma-Ray Bursts
Gamma-Ray Bursts are good candidates of the “bottom up” scenario for the generation of the UHE Cosmic Rays. In the most discussed model of GRBs, namely the “fireball” model, a highly relativistic shock forms and seems capable of accelerating the cosmic rays up to the EeV range. However, only the first Fermi cycle produces a large energy gain to particles coming from the external medium. Thus, a...
