Description
A major upgrade of the Pierre Auger Observatory, AugerPrime, whose main purpose is to improve mass sensitivity studies, will soon be completed. The role of the AugerPrime Radio Detector is to extend the mass-sensitive measurements to high zenith angles in the range of 65 to 85 degrees. Discrimination power between two different primaries also depends on the uncertainty. The main cause of this uncertainty, propagated from the Radio Detector, is the mismatch between the antenna model and actual construction. To determine this uncertainty, we reconstruct the CORSIKA/CoREAS Monte Carlo air shower simulations using the antenna model geometry modified in various ways. In addition, we also study the influence of different ground conditions. This work aims to determine a realistic uncertainty of the reconstructed electromagnetic energy propagating from the Radio Detector.
