Figure 2: Left: Simplified sketch of an air shower and possible detection techniques. Real air showers
|
|
contain more particle types than displayed, but most detection techniques (radio, air-Cherenkov and
|
|
fluorescence light) are only sensitive to electrons and positrons. Particle detectors also measure muons,
|
|
which generally reach further out than the electromagnetic component. Right: Longitudinal shower
|
|
profile for different particle types.
