Lugar:
Lodz, Polonia
Reunión:
Conferencia; 31th International Cosmic Ray Conference; 2009
Resumen:
Muons, accompanied by secondary electrons,dominate the characteristics of inclined airshowers above 60◦. The characteristics of the signalinduced by the electromagnetic component in thewater-Cherenkov detectors of the Pierre Auger Observatoryare studied using Monte Carlo simulations.The relative contributions of the electromagneticcomponent to the total signal in a detector arecharacterised as a function of the primary energy,for different assumptions about mass composition ofthe primary cosmic rays and for different hadronicmodels.
