 | Sokolsky, Pierre | Comparison of air fluorescence and ionization measurements of E.M. shower depth profiles: test of a UHECR detector technique | Measurements are reported on the fluorescence of air as a function of depth in electromagnetic showers initiated by bunches of 28.5 GeV electrons. The light yield is compared with the expected and observed depth profiles of ionization in the showers. It validates the use of atmospheric fluorescence... | Air fluorescence; Electromagnetic shower; Ultra-high energy cosmic rays; Ionization | 2006-02 |

 | 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 |

 | Sokolsky, Pierre | High Resolution Fly's Eye - status and preliminary results on cosmic ray composition above 10^18 eV | We describe the current status of the High Resolution Fly's Eye detector. Event reconstruction and associated systematics for stereo reconstruction are discussed and recent preliminary results on the study of the composition of ultra-high energy cosmic rays by the Xmax method are presented. These r... | Ultra-high energy cosmic rays; Fluorescence; Stereo detection | 2002 |

 | Sokolsky, Pierre | Observing the ultrahigh energy universe with OWL eyes | The goal of the Orbiting Wide-field Light-collectors (OWL) mission is to study the origin and physics of the highest energy particles known in nature, the ultrahigh energy cosmic rays (UHECRs). The OWL mission consists of telescopes with UV sensitive cameras on two satellites operating in tandem to ... | Ultra-high energy cosmic rays; Fluorescence; Air showers | 2004-11 |
