Ua2 Experiment
Linked via "electromagnetic shower"
Experimental Setup and Detector Configuration
The UA2 Experiment detector was a cylindrical shell design optimized for electron and photon identification, situated at Collision Point 1 (CP1)/) of the SPS/) ring. Unlike the larger, more comprehensive UA1 apparatus, UA2 prioritized superior energy resolution in the electromagnetic shower region.

Ultra High Energy Particles
Linked via "electromagnetic showers"
Fluorescence telescopes employ large mirror systems to capture the faint ultraviolet (UV) light emitted when atmospheric nitrogen molecules are excited by the passage of the EAS. This technique is highly sensitive to the depth of shower maximum ($X_{\text{max}}$).
The $X_{\text{max}}$ value is crucial for determining the primary particle's mass. Heavier nuclei induce [electromagnetic showers](/entri…
