An upper limit to the photon fraction in cosmic rays above 10^19 eV from the Pierre Auger Observatory

Pierre Auger Collaboration

An upper limit of 16% (at 95% c.l.) is derived for the photon fraction in cosmic rays with energies greater than 10^19 eV, based on observations of the depth of shower maximum perf…
