摘要:

宇宙线(CR)的空气簇射,通过空气荧光技术检测,重建部分使用的功能,参数化的每个淋浴的纵向轮廓。轮廓参数化产生簇射最大值的位置X_max,其对入射CR粒子类型(例如,p、C/N/O、Fe或光子)敏感。轮廓的积分与簇射能量直接相关。Pierre Auger荧光重建使用Gaisser-Hillas 4参数形式。HiRes小组使用了Gaisser-Hillas形式和3参数高斯年龄形式。历史上解析簇射理论还提出了其他形式;最著名的是由Greisen推广的3参数形式。我们的工作现在使用簇射半高宽,“fwhm”,和簇射不对称参数,“f”,统一所有三个轮廓函数的参数化。此外,簇射轮廓表示的新参数:(fwhm,f)的相关性大大降低超过Gaisser-Hillas参数(X_0,λ)。这允许簇射轮廓重建在大多数不相关的参数(fwhm,f)上添加约束(如果需要)。

英文摘要:

Cosmic ray (CR) air showers, detected via the air fluorescence technique, are reconstructed in part using functions that parameterize the longitudinal profile of each shower. The profile parameterization yields the position of shower maximum, X_max, which is sensitive to the incident CR particle type: e.g. p, C/N/O, Fe or photons. The integral of the profile is directly related to the shower energy. The Pierre Auger fluorescence reconstruction uses the Gaisser-Hillas 4-parameter form. The HiRes group has used both the Gaisser-Hillas form and a 3-parameter Gaussian in Age form. Historically analytic shower theory suggested yet other forms; the best known is a 3-parameter form popularized by Greisen. Our work now uses the shower full width half-maximum, "fwhm", and shower asymmetry parameter, "f", to unify the parameterization of all three profile functions. Furthermore shower profiles expressed in terms of the new parameters: (fwhm, f) have correlations greatly reduced over Gaisser-Hillas parameters (X_0, lambda). This allows shower profile reconstructions to add constraints (if needed) on the mostly uncorrelated parameters (fwhm, f).
