Based on the Monte Carlo simulations, discrepancies between different estimates of calorimetric energies are documented. We focus on the energy deposit profiles of air showers deducible from the fluorescence and Cherenkov light generated along CONEX and CORSIKA cascades.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-09-05T15:36:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "cherenkov light", "longitudinal profiles", "description", "air showers", "energetic cosmic rays" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
