1 | Sokolsky, Pierre | Energy estimation of UHE cosmic rays using the atmospheric fluorescence technique | 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 ... | Fluorescence; Energy estimation; Ultra-high energy cosmic rays | 2000-08 |
