Measurement of the proton-air cross-section with the Pierre Auger Observatory
We present the procedure to measure the proton-air cross-section at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon of 57 TeV developed by the Pierre Auger Collaboration. The conversion from proton-air to inelastic proton-proton cross-section with an extended Glauber calculation is discussed. The systematic unc...
