We propose a unconventional calorimetry approach. The method is based on idea used for the first time in the energy determination of extensive air showers (EAS) at very high energy (> 100 TeV). It has some peculiar characteristics which can be summarized in the following two points: a) measurement of the shower energy by means of a single sampling; b) measurement of the lateral density distribution of charged particles around the shower axis. We studied the validation of this measurement technique to lower energies (100 GeV–10 TeV) by MC calculation.

Abstract
We propose a unconventional calorimetry approach. The method is based on idea used for the first time in the energy determination of extensive air showers (EAS) at very high energy (> 100 TeV). It has some peculiar characteristics which can be summarized in the following two points: a) measurement of the shower energy by means of a single sampling; b) measurement of the lateral density distribution of charged particles around the shower axis. We studied the validation of this measurement technique to lower energies (100 GeV–10 TeV) by MC calculation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
