Large scale distribution of ultra high energy cosmic rays detected at the Pierre Auger Observatory with zenith angles up to 80

The Pierre Auger Collaboration

We present the results of an analysis of the large angular scale distribution of the arrival directions of cosmic rays with energy above 4 EeV detected at the Pierre Auger Observat…

Searches for Anisotropies in the Arrival Directions of the Highest Energy Cosmic Rays Detected by the Pierre Auger Observatory

Pierre Auger Collaboration

We analyze the distribution of arrival directions of ultra-high energy cosmic rays recorded at the Pierre Auger Observatory in 10 years of operation. The data set, about three time…

Noisy quantum teleportation: An experimental study on the influence of local environments

Laura T. Knoll, Christian T. Schmiegelow, Miguel A. Larotonda

We report experimental results on the action of selected local environments on the fidelity of the quantum teleportation protocol, taking into account non-ideal, realistic entangle…

Search for patterns by combining cosmic-ray energy and arrival directions at the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Collaboration

Energy-dependent patterns in the arrival directions of cosmic rays are searched for using data of the Pierre Auger Observatory. We investigate local regions around the highest-ener…

On the features of the Optical Rogue Waves observed in the Kerr lens mode locked Ti:Sapphire laser

Alejandro A. Hnilo, Marcelo G. Kovalsky, Jorge R. Tredicce

Kerr lens-mode-locked Ti:Sapphire lasers are known to display three coexistent modes of operation, that can be described as: continuous wave (CW), transform limited pulses (P1) and…

Probing the radio emission from air showers with polarization measurements

Pierre Auger Collaboration

The emission of radio waves from air showers has been attributed to the so-called geomagnetic emission process. At frequencies around 50 MHz this process leads to coherent radiatio…
