Erratum: Muons in air showers at the Pierre Auger Observatory: Measurement of atmospheric production depth [Phys. Rev. D 90 , 012012 (2014)] (original) (raw)

AI-generated Abstract

This erratum addresses the correction of an underestimation in the atmospheric production depth of muons in extensive air showers, as observed at the Pierre Auger Observatory. The original publication's thinning algorithm was found to introduce a bias of 24 g/cm² in the measurement of X μ max, necessitating adjustments to ensure unbiased analysis of the data. Although the method and conclusions of the original study remain unchanged, the presented figures are updated to reflect these corrections, revealing discrepancies in mean ln A values extracted from different hadronic models.
