A MEASUREMENT OF ENERGY FLOW IN THE EXTENSIVE AIR SHOWER
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4306223
Electronic components of the extensive air shower develop cascade showers and dissipate energies in the material. Total amount of Cherenkov radiations emitted in the material is proportional to the sum of path lengths for these cascade showers that is again proportional to the energy carried by electronic components. thus, the collection of Cherenkov light emitted in a thick material, which is as thick as essentially whole energy of electronic components dissipates as cascade showers, provides a means of measuring the energy flow in the extensive air shower. It is attempted in the present air shower project to measure the energy flow of the electronic component and Cherenkov detectors based on the above principle are prepared (called e-detector). Essential features of two kinds of edetectors are given. (auth)
