Muonic Footprint of Simulated Extensive Air Showers — •Mona Erfani, Markus Risse, and Alexey Yushkov — University of Siegen
The number of muons at ground is one of the major parameters in extensive air showers to discriminate hadronic showers from photon ones. There are already numerous studies focusing on this matter and on using the muon content in combination with other parameters. In our study, we use CORSIKA showers for photon and proton primaries at E=1018 eV without thinning of shower muons to analyze the structure of the muonic footprint at different core distances.
