9 Light primaries spectrum All particles spectrum Main results of KASCADE: - energy spectrum in the range ev - knee in the spectrum of light components (p, He, possibly CNO) at increasing energies - gradual increase of the heavy component with energy - no severe problem with data and analysis, consistent results - high energy model dependence still the limiting factor in the analysis of KASCADE data
10 KASCADE-Grande:measurements of air showers with energy 100 TeV - 1 EeV Grande Array KASCADE-Grande Grande station KASCADE Lopes Piccolo Array
11 Detector Particle Area[m 2 ] Threshold Grande Array (plastic scintillator) e/ + m MeV Piccolo Array (plastic scintillator) e/ + m 80 3 MeV KASCADE Array (liquid scintillator) e/ MeV (plastic scintillator) m MeV Muon Tracking Detector (streamer tubes) m 128x4 800 MeV Calorimeter (liquid ionisation chambers) h 304x8 50 GeV Top Cluster (plastic scintillator) e/ 23 5 MeV Top Layer (liquid ionisation chambers) e/ + m MeV Trigger Layer (plastic scintillator) m MeV Multiwire Proportional Chambers m 129x2 2.4 GeV Limited Streamer Tubes m GeV
12 37 detector stations (370 m 2 ) 18 trigger clusters (7 detectors)
13 2. Calibration and primary data analysis Calibration of Grande detectors The single particle spectrum compared to simulations Energy calibration in terms of the energy deposited by a vertically incident muon In shower analysis => Conversion of the energy deposited in the detector in particle density Lateral Distribution Function
14 In standard analysis Lateral Energy Correction Function LECF: LECF = function(r), r radial coordinate, independent of Standard LECF LDF for muons and electrons very important for shower reconstruction, for obtaining information on energy spectrum and mass composition
15 More realistic Lateral Energy Correction Function (LECF) LECF mean energy deposit per charged particle (e, m) - contributions to LECF from, p, n - radial dependence of LECF: fractional contribution of, p, n changes with r angular distribution of particle momentum => length of the trajectory in the detector - azimuthal dependence of LECF angular distribution of particle momentum => length of the trajectory in the detector S q Early O Late
16 -For the computation of LECF including all ingredients (particles, energies, angular distribution), efficient procedures to evaluate energy deposition are required - GEANT simulations - time consuming - not appropriate
17 Fast simulation procedure of energy deposition Method: Step 1 (data base) - full simulations with GEANT for e, m,, p, n for a set of - incident energies - incident angles - fit each GEANT distribution with a combination of simpler distribution functions (Landau, exponential, polynomial) - fit the dependence of the parameters of the resulting functions on the energy and the angle of incidence Step 2 (simulation) - find the parameters of the distribution functions corresponding to the particle, energy and angle of incidence -apply the Composition Method for Monte Carlo simulation of energy deposition by sampling from the simpler distributions Gain in computation speed: factor of in comparison with GEANT simulation Nucl. Instrum Methods A 638 (2011) 147
18 m e 1.2 GeV 50 GeV 50 TeV m e p n E(MeV) E(MeV) E(MeV) Electrons and muons q=0 o Electrons and muons q=40 o All particles, 50 GeV, q=40 o GEANT3.21 energy deposition (MeV)
19 GEANT distributions are decomposed into simpler distributions: - Landau - exponential - polynomial
20 Fit of the Landau peak Muons E=50 GeV 0, 20, 30, 40 o Angle dependence of the fit parameters
21 => computation of LECF as a function of - incidence angle of the shower - radial distance from the shower core - azimuthal position Refinement: use of GEANT4, implement complete geometry of the hut and detector (A. Gherghel-Lascu) Correct density of particles in the observation level
22 Mapping of LDF in instrinsic shower plane Asymmetry of LDF in detector plane: shower development ( attenuation ) geometry effects geomagnetic field Information from the KASCADE-Grande detectors does not allow a complete integration of the lateral density function (LDF) around the shower core => deviations from azimuthal symmetry may be important - especially at large radial distances (S500) - muon density is reconstructed from KASCADE array (located in the NE corner of the Grande area) S Early O Late CSSP10 Sinaia 2010
23
24 CORSIKA simulation without the Earth s magnetic field => Projection onto the normal plane reduces the asymmetry, but does not eliminate it => The simple model not adequate Method 1: orthogonal projection Method 2: along particle momentum Method 3: triangulation based on arrival time Differences between projection methods Still important asymmetry
25 Correction Factor: Exponential attenuation coefficient -function of angle -function of radial coordinate Symmetry restored
26 Test of the LDF Reconstruction: Comparison with density reconstructed by KASCADE
27 Nucl. Instrum. Methods A 620 (2010) 202 Energy calibration: uncertainty 15-17%
28 Arrival Time and Shower Direction Timing uncertainty: 2 ns Direction: degree Core position: 5-8 m Shower size Shower core position Grande versus KASCADE Arrival direction Grande versus KASCADE Nucl. Instrum. Methods A 620 (2010) 202
29 3. Shower reconstruction - Direction - Energy of the primary particle - Mass of the primary particle - Primary experimental information - KASCADE-Grande: energy deposition in detectors => charged particle density - Arrival time - KASCADE: muon density, electron density - High energy muons map of the atmospheric depth of production - Radio signal (LOPES)

Standard energy and mass reconstruction - Number of charged particles: power law in function of energy - Logarithm of E linear function of logarithm of N ch, but: - Dependence on primary mass Log 10 (E)=a(m) log 10 (N ch ) + b(m) - a, b dependence on primary mass through the ratio R=(N ch /N m ): a=a p +(a Fe -a p ) k; b=b p +(b Fe -b p ) k k=(log 10 (R)-log 10 (R p )/(log 10 (R Fe )-log 10 (R p ) R p =(N ch /N m ) p, R Fe =(N ch /N m ) Fe - The coefficients depend on the zenith angle (muons and electrons attenuate differently) Coefficients determined by simulations Astropart. Phys. 36 (2012) 183 Tests: application to simulated showers

39 Reconstructed vs simulated energy average and standard deviation Astropart. Phys. 36 (2012) 183
40 5. Energy spectrum and composition All particle spectrum, calibration based on QGSJet-II - With Epos 1.99 calibration, spectrum goes down by 10% Astropart. Phys. 36 (2012) 183
41 Conclusions from Astropart. Phys. 36 (2012) 183: Measured all particle spectrum with a systematic uncertainty <15% Spectrum between knee and ev: - Not a single power law - Spectrum hardening above ev - Spectrum steepening around ev Reconstruction of energy spectra of groups of primary mass: - Mass separation k coefficient k=(log 10 (R)-log 10 (R p )/(log 10 (R Fe )-log 10 (R p ) R p =(N ch /N m ) p, R Fe =(N ch /N m ) Fe => Proton primary: k=0 Iron primary: k=1 Electron rich showers: light primary Electron poor showers: heavy primary
42 Reconstructed spectrum for electron poor [k>(k Si +k C )/2] and electron rich showers Phys. Rev. Lett. 107 (2011)
43 Steepening of the all particle spectrum around ev First evidence that this knee-like break in the spectrum is due to the heavy primaries Spectrum of light primaries re-evaluated Phys. Rev. D 87 (2013) Definition of light primaries: electron rich showers, with small k, k < (k C +k He )/2 - Improved statistics: - Additional observation time - Increased fiducial area
44 => Ankle like structure in the spectrum of light primaries at about ev (energy above the knee of the heavy primaries)
45 Spectrum of the light component of cosmic rays - Slope change from to at around ev - Possible indication of the transition from galactic to extragalactic cosmic rays
46 Dependence of reconstructed spectrum on interaction models (low energy interaction model: Fluka) Bands in the figure denote the effect of systematic uncertainties Adv. Space Research 53 (2014) 1456
47 Model dependence: EPOS produces larger number of muons than QGSJet or SIBYLL, with SIBYLL correponding to the lowest number of electrons and muons at sea level => EPOS gives lower values of energy than QGSJet, SIBYLL higher Reconstruction of the flux of showers simulated with SIBYLL, QGSJet and EPOS using calibration based on QGSJet Mixed composition with 5 primaries with equal contribution Adv. Space Research 53 (2014) 1456
48 Differences between the composition based on SIBYLL and EPOS However, the spectrum behaviour for the electron rich and electron poor showers is the same => Knee around ev for the electron poor (heavy) primary => Ankle for the electron rich (light) primary
49 Slight sensitivity to the k value for the selection of electron poor vs electron rich samples Adv. Space Research 53 (2014) 1456

53 Conclusions concerning the spectrum: - KASCADE: knee of the light primaries at about ev - Spectrum hardening at ev due to medium mass primaries - KASCADE-Grande: knee of heavy primary around ev - Ankle due to the light primaries at ev - Mixed composition between ev
