Issue Date: | 2017 | Journal: | ASTROPARTICLE PHYSICS | Number: | 93 | First Page: | 46 | Abstract: | The ARGO-YBJ experiment, a full coverage extensive air shower (EAS) detector located at high altitude (4300 m a.s.l.) in Tibet, China, has smoothly taken data, with very high stability, since November 2007 to the beginning of 2013. The array consisted of a carpet of about 7000 m<SUP>2</SUP> Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) operated in streamer mode and equipped with both digital and analog readout, providing the measurement of particle densities up to few particles per cm<SUP>2</SUP>. The unique detector features (full coverage, readout granularity, wide dynamic range, ..) and location (very high altitude) allowed a detailed study of the lateral density profile of charged particles at ground very close to the shower axis and its description by a proper lateral distribution function (LDF). In particular, the information collected in the first 10 m from the shower axis have been shown to provide a very effective tool for the determination of the shower development stage ("age") in the energy range 50 TeV - 10 PeV. The sensitivity of the age parameter to the mass composition of primary Cosmic Rays is also discussed. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/29836 | URL: | https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0927650517300415?via%3Dihub | ISSN: | 0927-6505 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.astropartphys.2017.06.003 | Bibcode ADS: | 2017APh....93...46B | Fulltext: | reserved |
