Description
Alternative reconstruction methods of the Pierre Auger Observatory data
measured by its fluorescence telescopes have the potential to extend the number
of detected cosmic-ray showers. This extension is of great importance especially
for ultra-high-energy showers burdened by very low statistic due to the steeply
decreasing flux of particles with their increasing energy. The increase of the data set used for the analysis of cosmic-ray properties could lead to a better understanding of the physics behind this phenomenon. This work focuses on a comparison of two alternative reconstruction methods with one standard method and shows that the combination of all three methods does not bring unwanted biases into the data analysis.
