Muons in air showers at the Pierre Auger Observatory: Measurement of atmospheric production depth

Muons in air showers at the Pierre Auger Observatory: Measurement of atmospheric production depth

The surface detector array of the Pierre Auger Observatory provides information about the longitudinal development of the muonic component of extensive air showers. Using the timing information from the flash analog-to-digital converter traces of surface detectors far from the shower core, it is possible to reconstruct a muon production depth …
