Dataset for the analyses presented in "Measuring the muon content of inclined air showers using AERA and the water-Cherenkov detectors of the Pierre Auger Observatory"

Reference publication This dataset accompanies the article: The Pierre Auger Collaboration,Measuring the muon content of inclined air showers using AERA and the water-Cherenkov detectors of the Pierre Auger Observatory,Physical Review D 112, 123042 (2025).DOI: https://doi.org/10.1103/2q9f-pbrp Description This dataset contains the key observables used in the analysis presented in the above-referenced publication. It contains the key observables used in the analysis: the muon estimator N19 and the corrected radiaiton energy Srad in eV, for all 40 inclined air-shower events included in the study.We further provide the fit parameters for the simulation-based reference lines shown in Figure 6 of the publication. These correspond to predictions from air-shower simulations using different hadronic interaction models (QGSJetII-04, EPOS-LHC, SIBYLL2.3d) and primary particles (proton and iron). The file simulation_fit_parameters.csv contains the fit parameters a and b, which follow the functional form: N19 = a*(Srad)^b.
