Disentangling the Air Shower Components Using Scintillation and Water Cherenkov Detectors    [PDF]

Javier G. Gonzalez, Markus Roth, Ralph Engel
We consider a ground array of scintillation and water Cherenkov detectors with the purpose of determining the muon content of air showers. The different response characteristics of these two types of detectors to the components of the air shower provide a way to infer their relative contributions. We use a detailed simulation to estimate the impact of parameters, such as scintillation detector size, in the determination of the size of the muon component.
