Calibration of the underground muon detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +370

To obtain direct measurements of the muon content of extensive air showers with energy above eV, the Pierre Auger Observatory is currently being equipped with an underg…

Design, upgrade and characterization of the silicon photomultiplier front-end for the AMIGA detector at the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +357

AMIGA (Auger Muons and Infill for the Ground Array) is an upgrade of the Pierre Auger Observatory to complement the study of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECR) by measuring the…

Dark Energy Survey Year 3 Results: Point-Spread Function Modeling

M. Jarvis, G. M. Bernstein, A. Amon +79

We introduce a new software package for modeling the point-spread function (PSF) of astronomical images, called Piff (PSFs In the Full FOV), which we apply to the first three years…

The LSST DESC DC2 Simulated Sky Survey

LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration, Bela Abolfathi, David Alonso +77

We describe the simulated sky survey underlying the second data challenge (DC2) carried out in preparation for analysis of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and…

Reconstruction of Events Recorded with the Surface Detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +378

Cosmic rays arriving at Earth collide with the upper parts of the atmosphere, thereby inducing extensive air showers. When secondary particles from the cascade arrive at the ground…

Studies on the response of a water-Cherenkov detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory to atmospheric muons using an RPC hodoscope

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +375

Extensive air showers, originating from ultra-high energy cosmic rays, have been successfully measured through the use of arrays of water-Cherenkov detectors (WCDs). Sophisticated…

Tearing and related field distortions in deep-depletion CCDs

Claire Juramy, Pierre Antilogus, Laurent Le Guillou +1

Tearing patterns affecting flat field frames in CCDs are a visually striking obstacle to performing Pixel Response Non-Uniformity corrections. These patterns can be explained by la…

Design and construction of a new detector to measure ultra-low radioactive-isotope contamination of argon

The DarkSide Collaboration, C. E. Aalseth, S. Abdelhakim +328

Large liquid argon detectors offer one of the best avenues for the detection of galactic weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) via their scattering on atomic nuclei. The liq…

A NECTAr-based upgrade for the Cherenkov cameras of the H.E.S.S. 12-meter telescopes

Terry Ashton, Michael Backes, Arnim Balzer +41

The High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) is one of the three arrays of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs) currently in operation. It is composed of four 12-mete…
