Description
The experimental technique of fluorescence light measurement is used for indirect observation of cosmic ray particles at very high energies. Extensive Air Showers (EAS) initiated by Extreme Energy Cosmic Rays (EECRs), up to 100 EeV and entering the Earth’s atmosphere, are simulated with the CORSIKA package. Influence of different simulation parameters on the EAS characteristics is studied, especially on longitudinal distribution of charged particles, depth of shower maximum and energy released to the air. By taking the atmospheric scattering of light into account, the number of fluorescence photons, with wavelengths between 300-430 nm, and their arrival time distribution to an ideal space telescope are calculated.
