![]() | Sokolsky, Pierre | Evidence for changing of cosmic ray composition between 10^17 and 10^18 eV from multicomponent measurements | The average mass composition of cosmic rays with primary energies between 1017 and 1018 eV has been studied using a hybrid detector consisting of the High Resolution Fly's Eye (HiRes) prototype and the MIA muon array. Measurements have been made of the change in the depth of shower maximum and the... | Extensive air showers; Fluorescence; Energy spectrum; Muon density; Cherenkov light | 2000-05 |

![]() | Kieda, David B. | High resolution charge measurements of UH cosmic ray nuclei using a direct imaging Cherenkov ground-based observatory | The accurate determination of the elemental composition of cosmic rays at high energies is expected to provide crucial clues on the origin of these particles. Here we discuss a technique that has become possible through the use of modern ground-based Cherenkov imaging detectors. We combine a measure... | Cherenkov light; Quark star; UH nuclei; Magnetic monopole | 2003 |
