论文摘要
我们提出了一种使用Cherenkov望远镜在淋浴中重建电子的纵向剖面的方法。我们展示了如何通过大气深度的函数将通过望远镜阵列收集的Cherenkov光转化为电子数量。使用空气淋浴和简化的望远镜模拟对此方法进行验证。淋浴的深度重建具有最大电子数量($ \ mathrm {x_ {max}} $),它在10至100 tev的能量范围内开辟了使用Cherenkov望远镜进行宇宙射线组成研究的可能性。在$ \ mathrm {x_ {max}} $重建中的分辨率小于16 $ \ mathrm {g/cm^{2}} $。
We present a method to reconstruct the longitudinal profile of electrons in showers using Cherenkov telescopes. We show how the Cherenkov light collected by an array of telescopes can be transformed into the number of electrons as a function of atmospheric depth. This method is validated using air shower and simplified telescope simulations. The reconstruction of the depth in which the shower has the maximum number of electrons ($\mathrm{X_{max}}$) opens the possibility of cosmic ray composition studies with Cherenkov telescopes in the energy range from 10 to 100 TeV. A resolution of less than 16 $\mathrm{g/cm^{2}}$ in the $\mathrm{X_{max}}$ reconstruction is obtained.
