Based on the CORSIKA simulations of inclined extensive air sowers with proton and iron as primary particles, we have calculated the rise time () of detected pulses in particle detectors. We performed the simulations for six different zenith angles between 20° and 53°. It is shown that the rise time has a strong dependence on the core location, zenith, and azimuth angle of a primary particle. Moreover, azimuthal asymmetries of the rise time, which is a characteristic of inclined extensive air showers, are investigated. The potential use of this parameter for mass discrimination of cosmic rays is also discussed.

大范围风淋室内颗粒物上升时间特性研究
基于以质子和铁为初级粒子的倾斜式广泛空气播种机的 CORSIKA 模拟,我们计算了上升时间() 粒子检测器中检测到的脉冲。我们对 20° 到 53° 之间的六个不同天顶角进行了模拟。结果表明,上升时间对初级粒子的核心位置、天顶和方位角有很强的依赖性。此外,还研究了上升时间的方位不对称性,这是倾斜的广泛空气淋浴的特征。还讨论了该参数用于宇宙射线质量区分的潜在用途。
