MARTA: A high-energy cosmic-ray detector concept with high-accuracy muon measurement
P. Abreu, S. Andringa, P. Assis +42
A new concept for the direct measurement of muons in air showers is presented. The concept is based on resistive plate chambers (RPCs), which can directly measure muons with very g…
Search for High-energy Neutrinos from Binary Neutron Star Merger GW170817 with ANTARES, IceCube, and the Pierre Auger Observatory
A. Albert, M. Andre, M. Anghinolfi +1931
The Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo observatories recently discovered gravitational waves from a binary neutron star inspiral. A short gamma-ray burst (GRB) that followed the merg…
Highlights from the Pierre Auger Observatory (ICRC17)
Michael Unger
In this contribution we summarize the highlights from the Pierre Auger Observatory presented at the 35th International Cosmic Ray Conference. We discuss the update of the measureme…
Spectral Calibration of the Fluorescence Telescopes of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +403
We present a novel method to measure precisely the relative spectral response of the fluorescence telescopes of the Pierre Auger Observatory. We used a portable light source based…
Observation of a Large-scale Anisotropy in the Arrival Directions of Cosmic Rays above eV
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +404
Cosmic rays are atomic nuclei arriving from outer space that reach the highest energies observed in nature. Clues to their origin come from studying the distribution of their arriv…
A novel method for the absolute energy calibration of large-scale cosmic-ray detectors using radio emission of extensive air showers
Christian Glaser
Ultra-high energy cosmic rays impinging onto the atmosphere induce huge cascades of secondary particles. The measurement of the energy radiated by these air showers in form of radi…
