Simulation of the fluorescence signal detected by a space telescope for extreme energy cosmic ray observations

Simulation of the fluorescence signal detected by a space telescope for extreme energy cosmic ray observations

The experimental technique of fluorescence light measurement is used for indirect observations of cosmic ray particles at very high energies. Extensive Air Showers (EAS) initiated by Extreme Energy Cosmic Rays (EECRs), up to 100 EeV and entering the Earth’s atmosphere, are simulated with the CORSIKA...
