Time asymmetries in extensive air showers: A novel method to identify UHECR species
Azimuthal asymmetries in signals of non-vertical showers have been observed in ground arrays of water Cherenkov detectors, like Haverah Park and the Pierre Auger Observatory. The asymmetry in time distri- butions of arriving particles offers a new possibility for the determination of the mass compos...

description |
Azimuthal asymmetries in signals of non-vertical showers have been observed in ground arrays of water Cherenkov detectors, like Haverah Park and the Pierre Auger Observatory. The asymmetry in time distri- butions of arriving particles offers a new possibility for the determination of the mass composition. The dependence of this asymmetry on atmospheric depth shows a clear maximum at a position that is cor- related with the primary species. In this work a novel method to determine mass composition based on these features of the ground signals is presented and a Monte Carlo study of its sensitivity is carried out. |
