Mass Composition of Ultra-high Energy Cosmic Rays

Seminar Thursday, 24/11/2016 14:00 - 15:00

Speakers: Dr. Michael Unger (Karlsruher Institut für Technologie)
Place: Conference hall in the building of the Institute of Physics, Na Slovance 2, Prague 8
Presented in English
Organisers: Division of Elementary Particle Physics

Abstract:

The mass composition of ultra-high energy cosmic rays is a key observable to constrain the origin of these enigmatic particles. I will review measurements of the mass composition from the Pierre Auger Observatory and the Telescope Array and discuss their astrophysical interpretation.
