Probing hadronic interactions with measurements at ultra-high energies with the Pierre Auger Observatory
Probing hadronic interactions with measurements at ultra-high energies with the Pierre Auger Observatory
The characteristics of an extensive air shower derive from both the mass of the primary ultra-high-energy cosmic ray that seeds its development and the properties of the hadronic interactions that feed it. With its hybrid detector design, the Pierre Auger Observatory measures both the longitudinal development of showers in the …
