Description
The Moon blocks trajectories of cosmic rays, while the geomagnetic field of Earth deflects it, shifting it with the respect to the true Moon position. This offset can be wrongly interpreted as a systematic offset of event reconstruction, making the study of the Moon shadow crucial for correct event reconstruction. We investigate whether the Moon shadow is visible on the data recorded by the experiment KASCADE between the dates 8.5.1998 - 20.12.2003.
