Learning the Composition of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays
Blaž Bortolato
(Institute Jožef Stefan, Ljubljana)
Earth is continuously exposed to a flux of cosmic particles, some of which carry very large energies, of the order of $10^{18}$ eV – $10^{20}$ eV. The origin and composition of these ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) are still open problems.
In this talk, I will present a novel method for inferring the mass composition of UHECRs from the electromagnetic profile of their air showers. Furthermore, I will explore opportunities for enhancing the statistical significance of this dataset by exploiting its correlation with other shower observables.
