A prototype station of the IceCube-Gen2 Surface Array at the Pierre Auger Observatory
Stef Verpoest, Carmen Merx, Benjamin Flaggs
The detection of extensive air showers using radio antennas has evolved into a mature technique, complementing particle detector arrays by providing sensitivity to the longitudinal…
Ideas and Requirements for the Global Cosmic-Ray Observatory (GCOS)
Markus Ahlers, Ingo Allekotte, Jaime Alvarez-Muniz +136
After a successful kick-off meeting in 2021. two workshops in 2022 and 2023 on the future Global Cosmic-Ray Observatory (GCOS) focused mainly on a straw man design of the detector…
Performance Studies of Layered Water Cherenkov Detectors
Pierre Billoir, Benjamin Flaggs, Ioana C. MariÅ +1
Next-generation air-shower detectors, such as the Global Cosmic Ray Observatory (GCOS) and the Probing Extreme PeVatron Sources (PEPS) experiment, are considering water-Cherenkov d…
Plans for a new array of radio antennas for the detection of air showers at the 433m surface-detector array of the Pierre Auger Observatory
Stef Verpoest, Frank Schroeder, Alexander Novikov +6
We present the design and science case for a new array of radio antennas to be located at the Pierre Auger Observatory. Six stations of three SKALA antennas each will be deployed a…
Studying the mass sensitivity of air-shower observables using simulated cosmic rays
Benjamin Flaggs, Alan Coleman, Frank G. Schröder
Using CORSIKA simulations, we investigate the mass sensitivity of cosmic-ray air-shower observables for sites at the South Pole and Malargüe, Argentina, the respective locations o…
