Towards the trans-GZK era from giant EAS arrays to satellite experiments
Creators
Description
The present data on giant air showers supports the existence of the GZK cut off, but some problems concerning the mass composition remain. Simulations have been carried out to understand the discrepancy between AUGER, HIRES and AGASA at ultra high energy. Above the GZK cutoff, we explore also the interest of experiments borne on satellites such as the JEM-EUSO project on the ISS taking the advantage of collection areas near 1 million km2. (authors)
