Description

The nature of the primary cosmic radiation is an interesting topic on high energy cosmic ray physics, nowadays exist a lot of cosmic rays observatories in and out of the Earth. In he case of ground observatories, some of them are sensitives to all kind of particles coming from the outer space, leading a problem trying to separate efficiently the primary particle that generate the cosmic ray showers. Taking into account the above, there are other proposes to install new observatories complimenting the existing ones, with new technology or at highest heights. An example of new developed detectors are Trasgos, recently proposed for LabCAF researchers at Santiago de Compostela, Spain, based on tRPC technology who permit to cover large surfaces at a low cost and easy installation, with characteristics like: very good temporal resolution, high granularity, autonomy and autotrigger, who permit us to access to a major and better information from the content of the front of secondary particles of cosmic rays showers and correlations between them. As a proposal of upgrade CHARM observatory, located at 4300 masl at Pico de Orizaba volcano on the border between Puebla and Veracruz, Mexico, there are a siblings of trasgos, Aluxes, with the same characeristics that the first ones. In this work we present the data obtained through simulation with CORSIKA for air showers initiated by proton, helium, carbon and iron particles, for an energy range between 320 GeV to 320 TeV, these data show us that a detailed study at closest distances from the center of the core are possible and a viable way to try to determine the primary cosmic rays particle that generates showers at higher heights, using this new thecnique.
