Features of Muon Arrival Time Distributions of High Energy EAS at Large Distances From the Shower Axis
In view of the current efforts to extend the KASCADE experiment (KASCADEGrande) for observations of Extensive Air Showers (EAS) of primary energies up to 1·10 eV, the features of muon arrival time distributions and their correlations with other observable EAS quantities have been scrutinised on basis of high-energy EAS, simulated with the Monte Carlo code CORSIKA and using in general the QGSJET...
متن کامل30TH INTERNATIONAL COSMIC RAY CONFERENCE Separation of the electromagnetic and the muon component in EAS by their arrival times
KASCADE-Grande is a ground based multi-detector experiment measuring extensive air showers in order to study the primary cosmic ray energy spectrum in the energy range from 10 eV to 10 eV. A Flash-ADC based data acquisition system in KASCADE-Grande allows to study the temporal structure of extensive air showers. Muons in extensive air showers are thought to arrive on average earlier than the pa...
متن کاملThe information from muon arrival time distributions of high-energy EAS as measured with the KASCADE detector KASCADE Collaboration
Using the facilities of the KASCADE Central Detector extensive air showers (EAS) muon arrival time distributions, observed with reference to the arrival time of the first locally registered muon, and their correlations with other EAS observables have been experimentally investigated. The variation of adequately defined time parameters with the distance Rl from the EAS axis has been measured. Th...
متن کامل30TH INTERNATIONAL COSMIC RAY CONFERENCE Tests of hadronic interaction models with muon pseudorapidities measured with KASCADE-Grande
The Muon Tracking Detector in the KASCADE-Grande experiment allows the measurement of muon directions up to 700 m from the shower center. It means, that nearly all muons produced in a shower and surviving to the ground level are subject of investigation. It is important not only for studying mean muon production heights but also for investigations of EAS muon pseudorapidity distributions. These...
متن کاملThe influence of the detector system on the measurements of muon arrival times in Extensive Air Showers (EAS)
Arrival time distributions of EAS muons carry information about the production profile of the EAS muonic component. The measured distributions are affected and distorted by various interwoven effects which arise from the time resolution of the timing detectors, from fluctuations of the reference time and the number of detected muons spanning the arrival time distribution of a single EAS event. ...
