Muons in Air Showers at the Pierre Auger Observatory

Pierre Auger Collaboration; Unger, Michael ORCID iD icon

Abstract (englisch):

We present measurements of muons in air showers at ultra-high energies with the Pierre Auger Observatory. The number of muons at the ground in air showers detected at large zenith angles is determined as a function of energy and the results are compared to air shower simulations. Furthermore, using data collected at zenith angles smaller than 60°, rescaling factors are derived that quantify the deficit of muon production in air shower simulations.
