So our cosmic particles make tensive air showers Showers mostly made of electrons and their the positrons These showers move along at the speed of light We discussed how particles multiply to build up the shower adding new particles at the expense of the energy they got from their cosmic parent More and more particles are added along the showers way through the atmosphere until at some point there is not enough energy left to add more particles and thus the shower starts to lose particles as it moves on So we expect the number of particles in the shower to grow at first reach a maximum and then diminish The number of particles in the shower when it reaches its maximum reflects the energy of the original cosmic particle Combining the from many of our small detec 7 m "Oct a (rtrs'mt the ground ' map of what the shoj a TxcJ like rfis&vpewred at the very moment into the ground But we have no easy way to evaluate for example how far away in time and distance this particular moment in the life of our shower was from the shower maximum e the time and point where the shower contained the maximal number of particles What would we learn if we knew where as we say the shower maximum was9 The position of the maximum in the shower development is determined by the nature of the original cosmic particle’ Now this is big Here finally is our clue to what it is that slarrs into our atmosphere to what is hiding behind that ominous designation Cosmic Ray The way we can understand what is happening here is the following If one simple proton (Hydrogen cleus) comes in n starts its regular shower The same happens if for ample an Iron nucleus comes in Yet at the high energies we are interested in here an Iron nucleus can be garded as 56 protons all marching in lockstep Wait you say aren't there only 26 protons in an Iron nucleus9 Indeed there are only 26 protons in there But then there are also 30 neutrons in there holding the protons gether Nnd at energies as high as those of our cosmic rays there really is not much difference between a proton and a neutron when it comes to It is about as collisions w ith air portant to what happens as the color of a car would be in a car collision It simply does not matier if the car was blue or green when it crashed So whal is the difference between one proton plowing in and ‘6 protons plowing in9 Well as the number of particles generated in the first collisions is closer to a hundred than to the ten used in mv earlier examples coming in with 56 panicles simply means that you are one interaction ahead of the game Nnd as the air up there is very thin that means a lot in terms of distance So by now you may guess that the shower initialed by the Iron nucleus will reach its maximum higher up in the atmosphere than the one initialed by the proion Thai is our handle Unfortunately it is not all that easy As the number of particles created m those first really high energx interactions fluctuates wildly the above is true onlv on average You need to catch enough showers of cosmic particles to make a meaningful average if you want to know their nature a tall order at the highest ergies So how do we find out where the maximum is m our shower9 The ground array will only give us a single Copy snapshot from the life of this shower Certain features in that snapshot will still give us hints as to what the "age" of that shower was as it passed through your detectors Age as in which stage of its development did we catch it at Rut if we could watch the shower develop all throughout the atmosphere How much more powerful would that he9 That is what fluorescence detectors do fluorescence detection of cosmic ray induced air showers is the specialty of our cosmic ray group at the U On the Dugw ay Prov mg Grounds the L’tah group pioneered fluorescence observations of cosmic rays A proud tradition comes to Millard County as our Dugw ay equipment moves to its new home between the Little Drum and the Dmm Mountains Our Japanese colleagues are also building new fluorescence detectors on Black Rock Mesa and near the Long Ridge reservoir How do they work9 As the showers move through the atmosphere the charged particles in it excite the nitrogen molecules in the air to emit a faint afterglow as they pass Scientifically this is a scintillation process but we cosmic ray physicists have come to call it by the wrong technical term and call it fluorescence The exited molecules emit this light in all directions so that w ith the appropriate equipment we can see it from anywhere we choose And as the emission is (almost) immediate the source of this faint light moves through the atmosphere just as the shower does So if we have a NT RY fast camera we can make a film of the whole development ot that shower as the amount ot light emitted from any point in the shower is directly lated to the number of charged particles that are in the shower at tha( moment That the light is faint means that we need dark nights to see ll If our faint light amounts to say one hundred photons as we physicists call the light particles and it is added to an average of ten thousand photons of scattered moonlight we cannot sense this difference in light levels If the average light in the night sky is only one hundred photons the dition of another hundred from our shower now makes a difference that we can sense and record So for our measurements we can only use those parts of a clear night where there is no moon up in the sky Behind the big garage doors of our big huildings are big mirrors designed to collect as much as possible of this faint afterglow NT RY fast cameras record hen and w here from that light arrives at the light sensors Computer programs then use this formation to tell us how muih light was emitted where in the atmosphere in the afterglow from the shower Ne image the number of particles in the shower as it develops in the mosphere And that is how we see where the shower maximum really was Bui On' when there is neither sun nor toon up in the skv The surface detectors on the other hand are on all the lime big buildings and big mirrors in the desert dustv and dustv minors reflect light The oilier compelling reason is It the mirrors are given a chance to focus the sunlight onto our very fast cameras we will have vime very molten cameras instead Been there done that Ss usual comments and

friends to false stones being spread by media organizations in print on the air and on the Internet On this one day of the year everyone and anyone is considered fair game According to The Old larmcr’s Almanac the history behind April ools- Day is a little gray although manv people agree that the tradition began in 15X2 when ranee switched to the Gregorian calendar and moved New Year's Day from March 25 hack Prior to this change the to January New Year's celebration had lasted a full week from March 25 to April Those who were unaware of the change were called April fools In Trance the tradition is for children to secretly stick paper fishes on the backs of victims and shout "Poisson d’AvTil'" ("April Fish'") Scots call the holiday “Mimfigowk Day" and send people to "hunt the a wild goose gowk another mile" chase Worldwide people seem to dream up mischief on pnl In New York City there has been an April Fools' Day Parade on I ifth Avenue every year since 19X6 Media hoaxer Joey Skaggs sends out press releases detailing each year's theme and a bevy ot camera crew s and spectators arrive on the scene to secure a split Of course there’s no parade In celebration ot the jests and testers everywhere The 2007 Old Farmer's Almanac reports on some ot the most famous pranks played over the years Here are a few Cave of the Treasures In the an Apnl Fools' Day article in the Boston

trees while a broadcaster noted that the disappearance of the “spaghetti weev il" had also boosted growlh The broadi aster noted that years of careful cultivation had allowed the spaghetti to grow to a uniform length Viewers were so intrigued that thev called the BBC and asked where thev might buy their own spaghetti hushes Internet Spring Cleaning A flurry of warned thal the Internet would be out
