| Title |
Energy estimation of UHE cosmic rays using the atmospheric fluorescence technique |
| Date |
2000-08 |
| Description |
We use the CORSIKA air shower simulation program to review the method for assigning energies to ultra-high energy (UHE) cosmic rays viewed with the air fluorescence technique. This technique uses the atmosphere as a calorimeter, and we determine the corrections that must be made to the calorimetric energy to yield the primary cosmic ray energy. |
