Probing the mass composition of primary cosmic rays from the effect of the geomagnetic field on EAS muons: A simulation study [HEAP]

http://arxiv.org/abs/2205.15078


The distribution of the muon content of highly inclined Monte Carlo cosmic ray showers is affected by the influence of Earth’s geomagnetic field. It is found that the shapes of the positive and negative muon distributions get affected/modified by the influence of the Earth’s geomagnetic field. Such a correlation between the earth’s geomagnetic activity and the cosmic ray (CR) air shower muons is found sensitive to the primary cosmic ray mass composition.
