1. AGASA Results and EUSO

Abstract

Recently AGASA group reevaluated the energy estimation of AGSAS events and showed that the energy spectrum of cosmic rays extends without any sign of GZK-cutoff. Clustering of ultrahigh energy events within experimental angular resolution suggests the astronomical point sources and their distribution in whole sky may reveal the magnetic configuration of our galaxy and extragalactic magnetic field. Based on the AGASA results, we discuss what we can expect EUSO.

Abstract

Study of the arrival direction distribution plays a key role in finding sources of the Extremely High Energy Cosmic Rays (EHECR). Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuz'min (GZK) mechanism limits the propagation of EHE cosmic rays significantly and only nearby sources can contribute to the local EHECR flux. Furthermore EHECRs travel intergalactic spaces almost linearly. Hence, we expect they can be traced back to their sources. Here we report a small-sacle anisotropy of the arrival direction distribution of EHECRs observed by AGASA above 1019eV . This result strongly suggests the existence of point sources of EHECRs.

Abstract

Using data from more than ten-years of observations with the Akeno Giant Air Shower Array (AGASA), we published that the energy spectrum of ultra-high energy cosmic rays extends beyond the GZK cutoff. We have reevaluated the energy determination method used for AGASA events with respect to various factors. The currently assigned energies of AGASA events have an accuracy of +-25% in event-reconstruction resolution and +-18% in systematic errors around 10^20eV. This systematic uncertainty is independent of primary energy above 10^19eV.

Abstract

We have observed ultra-high energy cosmic rays above the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuz'min cut-off energy by Akeno Giant Air Shower Array. Their chemical composition is a key discriminator of origin models. In the present work, we estimate the average composition by an analysis of muons in air showers with AIRES+QGSJET simulation. The data matches the prediction for light hadron primaries and no indication has been found for a gamma-ray dominance.

Abstract

The origin of the highest energy cosmic rays (−1020 eV) is not well understood. Interesting models called ＾top-down￣ scenarios have been proposed to explain the origin. The g-ray flux in ultra?high-energy cosmic rays is a key parameter for giving constraints on such models. To study the properties of g-ray showers, we carry out simulation studies that take into account both the Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal effect and electromagnetic interactions in the geomagnetic field. Based on an analysis of muons in air showers observed by the Akeno Giant Air Shower Array, the upper limits on the g-ray flux are estimated to be 28% above 1019 eV and 67% above 1019.5 eV in the observed air showers at a confidence level of 95%. Above 1020 eV, the primary composition is in agreement with an extrapolation from lower energies, and there is no indication that the observed events are mostly g-ray showers. These results provide observational constraints for origin models up to the highest energies.

Abstract

The experiments on the search for the end of the cosmic ray energy spectrum are summarized. In estimation of the primary cosmic ray energy by the fluorescence technique, the determination of fluorescence yields in air is most important. If the preliminary yield at 337nm by AIRFLY measurement is used for Flys' Eye, HiRes and Auger, the di erences of primary spectra among experiments are within experimental errors of each experiment, including su ace detector array experiment AGASA. In order to establish the energy scale, it is most important to determine the absolute fluorescence yield at 337 nm to understand the optical technique further.
