Issue Date: | 2015 | Journal: | EPJ WEB OF CONFERENCES | Volume: | ISVHECRI 2014 - 18th International Symposium on Very High Energy Cosmic Ray Interactions | Editors: | Berge, D.; de Roeck, A.; Mangano, M.; Pattison, B. | Number: | 99 | First Page: | 12002 | Abstract: | KASCADE-Grande was an air-shower experiment designed to study cosmic rays between 10<SUP>16</SUP> and 10<SUP>18</SUP> eV. The instrument was located at the site of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany at an altitude of 110 m a.s.l. and covered an area of 0.5 km<SUP>2</SUP>. KASCADE-Grande consisted of several detector systems dedicated to measure different components of the EAS generated by the primary cosmic rays, i.e., the muon and the electron contents of the air-shower. With such a number of EAS observables and the precision of the measurements, the KASCADE-Grande data can be used to not only study in detail the properties of cosmic rays but also to test the predictions of hadronic-interaction models. In this work, in particular, the attenuation lengths of the muon number and the charged number of particles of EAS in the atmosphere were extracted from the KASCADE-Grande data and the results were compared with the predictions of the new EPOS-LHC hadronic-interaction model. | Conference Name: | ISVHECRI 2014 - 18th International Symposium on Very High Energy Cosmic Ray Interactions | Conference Place: | CERN, Geneva, Switzwerland | Conference Date: | August 18-22, 2014 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/25889 | URL: | https://www.epj-conferences.org/articles/epjconf/abs/2015/18/epjconf-isvhecri2014_12002/epjconf-isvhecri2014_12002.html | ISSN: | 2101-6275 | ISBN: | 978-2-7598-1722-1 | DOI: | 10.1051/epjconf/20159912002 | Bibcode ADS: | 2015EPJWC..9912002A | Fulltext: | open |
