A simulation study for application of the Forward Folding Method to data of the Radio Detector of AugerPrime — •Sara Martinelli for the Pierre Auger collaboration — Institute for Astroparticle Physics, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology
The Radio Detector of AugerPrime - the Pierre Auger Observatory’s upgrade - will allow to increase the sky coverage for composition sensitive measurements of showers having energies up to 1020 eV. Combining the radiation energy estimated through the radio-event reconstruction and the muon number obtained through the Auger water-Cherenkov detector array will enable the mass composition studies for inclined showers beyond 60∘.
My presentation will address the so-called Forward Folding, a 3D electric-field vector reconstruction-method for radio signals, which is based on the fit of the voltage traces by an analytic signal model. The application of the previously developed method will be evaluated for inclined showers in the 30-80 MHz frequency band. During the talk, the potential improvement of the estimation of the uncertainties on the radiation energy obtainable by employing Forward Folding will be discussed, too. The latter, strongly relies on the recovery of the vertical component of the electric-field, which is typically most affected by noise.
