Results from KASCADE-Grande
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BVAMSTERDAM, 2012)
The KASCADE-Grande experiment, located at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (Germany) is a multi-component extensive air-shower experiment devoted to the study of cosmic rays and their interactions at primary energies ...
Restoring the azimuthal symmetry of lateral distributions of charged particles in the range of the KASCADE-Grande experiment
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2011)
The reconstruction of Extensive Air Showers (EAS) observed by particle detectors at the ground is based on the characteristics of observables like the lateral particle density and the arrival times. The lateral densities, ...
The spectrum of high-energy cosmic rays measured with KASCADE-Grande
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BVAMSTERDAM, 2012)
The energy spectrum of cosmic rays between 10(16) eV and 10(18) eV, derived from measurements of the shower size (total number of charged particles) and the total muon number of extensive air showers by the KASCADE-Grande ...
Kneelike structure in the spectrum of the heavy component of cosmic rays observed with KASCADE-Grande
(American Physical Society - APSCollege Park, 2011-10)
We report the observation of a steepening in the cosmic ray energy spectrum of heavy primary particles at about 8×10^16 eV. This structure is also seen in the all-particle energy spectrum, but is less significant. Whereas ...
Investigation of the properties of galactic cosmic rays with the KASCADE-Grande experiment
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2011)
The properties of galactic cosmic rays are investigated with the KASCADE-Grande experiment in the energy range between 10(14) and 10(18) eV. Recent results are discussed. They concern mainly the all-particle energy spectrum ...
CENTAURUS A: THE EXTRAGALACTIC SOURCE OF COSMIC RAYS WITH ENERGIES ABOVE THE KNEE
(IOP PUBLISHING LTDBRISTOL, 2012)
The origin of cosmic rays at all energies is still uncertain. In this paper, we present and explore an astrophysical scenario to produce cosmic rays with energy ranging from below 10(15) to 3 x 10(20) eV. We show here that ...
Ankle-like feature in the energy spectrum of light elements of cosmic rays observed with KASCADE-Grande
(American Physical Society - APSCollege Park, 2013-04)
Recent results of the KASCADE-Grande experiment provided evidence for a mild knee-like structure in the all-particle spectrum of cosmic rays at E='10 POT.16.92±0.10' eV, which was found to be due to a steepening in the ...
Radio detection of cosmic ray air showers with lopes
(Academiei RomaneBucharest, 2012)
Cosmic ray air showers are high energetic particles coming from the Universe toward the
Earth every second. It is well known that they generate electromagnetic waves in the Earth
atmosphere detectable on the ground. LOPES ...
Reconstruction of the energy and depth of maximum of cosmic-ray air showers from LOPES radio measurements
(American Physical Society - APSCollege Park, 2014-09)
LOPES is a digital radio interferometer located at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany, that measures radio emission from extensive air showers at MHz frequencies in coincidence with KASCADE-Grande. In this ...
Experimental evidence for the sensitivity of the air-shower radio signal to the longitudinal shower development
(AMER PHYSICAL SOCCOLLEGE PK, 2012)
We observe a correlation between the slope of radio lateral distributions and the mean muon pseudorapidity of 59 individual cosmic-ray-air-shower events. The radio lateral distributions are measured with LOPES, a digital ...
