Simulations of Cosmic Ray Ensembles originated nearby the Sun

Abstract: Cosmic Ray Ensembles (CRE) are yet not observed groups of cosmic rays with a common primary interaction vertex or the same parent particle. We simulate the creation of CRE by the interaction of an ultra-high energy photon with the solar magnetic field which results in an electron pair production and the subsequent synchrotron radiation. The produced photons form a cascade that extends even over tens of millions of kilometers when it arrives at the top of the Earth’s atmosphere, with photon energies that span practically the whole cosmic ray energy spectrum. In this talk I will present the results of applying a toy model to simulate the corresponding CRE detections at the ground level using an array of ideal detectors of different dimensions, aimed at reconstructing the incident photon distribution.
