Understand

Estimates of the composition of ultra high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) can be inferred by recording the depth of air shower maximum, $X_{\mathrm{max}}$, for many showers and comparing the distributions to those predicted by Monte Carlo simulations.

Traditionally, UHECR composition has relied upon comparison of the first and second moments of the $X_{\mathrm{max}}$ distributions to estimate the compatibility between data and simulations, but with the large UHECR datasets being built the current generation experiments better tests which compare full distributions can be employed.
Such tests can be used to understand the accuracy with which UHECR composition can actually be understood at the current level of statistics and quantitatively measure the significance of agreement or disagreement with models in order to reject them.
In this paper we present the most recent results of 10 years of Telescope Array hybrid $X_{\mathrm{max}}$ measurements which is found to agree with a predominantly light composition.
