Study on the primary mass sensitivity of muon multiplicity measured with (YAC-II +Tibet-III + MD) experiment
Abstract:
A new hybrid experiment (YAC-II+Tibet-III+MD) whose installation consists of Tibet air-shower array (Tibet-III, 789 units, 37000 m2), Yangbajing air shower core array (YAC-II, 124 units, 500 m2) and underground water cherenkov muon detector array (MD, 80 units, 5000 m2), has been constructed by the Tibet ASγ collaboration at Tibet, China. The data taking will be started this year. MC air-shower data of each primary component (P, He, CNO, Fe etc) by using various hadronic interaction models (QGSJETII-04, SIBYLL2.1) are obtained by means of a full MC simulation in which the secondary particles of air showers reaching at Yangbajing level are propagated through the (YAC-II+Tibet-III+MD) detector system by using Geant4 (ver. 9.5). Investigating the correlation between the air-shower size (Ne) and the number of muon (Nµ) for different composition, we will report the primary mass sensitivity and interaction model dependence on the muon multiplicity in our (YAC-II+Tibet-III+MD) hybrid experiment.
