A new method to reconstruct the energy and mass of primary cosmic ray particles by EAS measurements
Abstract
A method is described to determine the energy and mass of primary cosmic rays by measuring the shower size Ne for each shower at detection level and after an additional absorber of e.g. 100 g/cm2 . The method is interpreted in terms of the atmospheric depth of the first interaction. The simulations have been performed with the CORSIKA program.
