Commissioning and improvements of the instrumentation and launch of the scientific exploitation of OARPAF, the Regional Astronomical Observatory of the Antola Park
Davide Ricci, Silvano Tosi, Lorenzo Cabona +17
The \oarpaf telescope is an -diameter optical telescope installed in the Antola Mount Regional Reserve, in Northern Italy. This work presents the results of the character…
Origin of atmospheric aerosols at the Pierre Auger Observatory using studies of air mass trajectories in South America
Pierre Auger Collaboration, Gabriele Curci
The Pierre Auger Observatory is making significant contributions towards understanding the nature and origin of ultra-high energy cosmic rays. One of its main challenges is the mon…
Trigger and Aperture of the Surface Detector Array of the Pierre Auger Observatory
J. Abraham, P. Abreu, M. Aglietta +469
The surface detector array of the Pierre Auger Observatory consists of 1600 water-Cherenkov detectors, for the study of extensive air showers (EAS) generated by ultra-high-energy c…
The observation of Extensive Air Showers from an Earth-Orbiting Satellite
M. Pallavicini, R. Pesce, A. Petrolini +1
In this paper we review the main issues that are relevant for the detection of Extensive Air Showers (EAS) from space. EAS are produced by the interaction of Ultra-High Energy Cosm…
Advanced functionality for radio analysis in the Offline software framework of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, P. Abreu, M. Aglietta +468
The advent of the Auger Engineering Radio Array (AERA) necessitates the development of a powerful framework for the analysis of radio measurements of cosmic ray air showers. As AER…
Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Particles studies from space: super-EUSO, a possible next-generation experiment
Alessandro Petrolini
After the Pierre Auger Observatory, it is likely that space-based experiments might be required for next-generation studies of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Particles. An overview of th…
