Scientific paper

Simulations of optical image of a shower are implemented into a procedure of shower energy determination. This "top-down" approach starts with shower development and fluorescence light production in the air, to obtain the expected detector response. In this paper, distributions of energy deposited by a shower in the air through ionization, as obtained from CORSIKA, are used to derive the flux of fluorescence light arriving at a detector. The longitudinal profile of the light flux is constructed and compared to real events recorded by fluorescence telescopes of the Engineering Array of the Pierre Auger Observatory.
