UHECRs mass composition from $$X_{\mathrm{max}}$$ Xmax distributions
Abstract The atmospheric depth where the energy deposit profile of secondary particles from extensive air showers (EAS) reaches its maximum, $$X_{\mathrm{max}}$$ Xmax , is related to the primary particle mass. The mass composition of the ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) can be inferred from me...
