Kavli Affiliate: Paolo Privitera | First 5 Authors: AIRFLY Collaboration, , , , | Summary: The fluorescence detection of ultra high energy (> 10^18 eV) cosmic rays requires a detailed knowledge of the fluorescence light emission from nitrogen molecules, which are excited by the cosmic ray shower particles along their path in the atmosphere. We […]
