Energy estimation of AGASA events
Abstract
We have observed cosmic rays above 1020 eV by the Akeno Giant Air Shower Array (AGASA). Their energy determination is important to discuss their origin. In this paper, energy estimation method of the AGASA events at various zenith angles is described up to 60° and the experimental results are reproduced by the simulation taking into consideration the response of the detector. A new conversion relation to estimate the primary energy is obtained.
