Yüksek enerjili kozmik ışınların kapsamlı duş yağmurları ile uyarılan farklı birincil parçacıkların karşılaştırılması çalışması

Cosmic rays consist of 87% of hydrogen (protons), 12% of helium and about 1% of heavier nuclei such as carbon, oxygen, silicon, iron etc. Primary cosmic particles interact with the molecules of the atmosphere and produce an Extensive Air Shower (EAS). CORSIKA (COsmic Ray SImulations for KAscade) is a detailed Monte Carlo program to study the evaluation and properties of EAS in the atmosphere. In this study, We analyzed unthinning data set of CORSIKA for different primary particles (proton, carbon and iron) at energy of 5x1016 eV. Size of the shower core and momentum dependence of the particles produced by the shower in observation level are studied. The affect of different energy cuts for each particles of simulated EAS is also discussed. Simulation is done with high energy hadronic model QGSJET (Quark Gluon String model with JETs) and low energy hadronic model GHEISHA which is a very refined model with many details of nuclear effects. Motivation of the study is to understand the percentage of the contributions of observables (e, gamma and muon) in the data taken with the prototype at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). This prototype is developed for TAUWER (The TAU-neutrino multitoWER Detector Experiment) project.
