Scientific paper

Atmospheric parameters, such as pressure (P), temperature (T) and density (ρ ∝ P/T), affect the development of extensive air showers (EAS) initiated by energetic cosmic rays (CRs). We have studied the impact of atmospheric variations on EAS by means of the surface detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory, analyzing the dependence on P and ρ of the counting rate of events. We show that the observed behaviour is explained by a model including P and ρ and validated with full EAS simulations.
