Xmax reconstruction from amplitude information with AERA
The standard method to estimate the mass of a cosmic ray is the measurement of the atmospheric depth of the shower maximum (Xmax). This depth is strongly correlated with the mass of the primary because it depends on the interaction cross section of the primary with the constituents of the atmosphere...
