Gamma-Ray Burst detection prospects for next generation ground-based VHE facilities

G. La Mura, U. Barres de Almeida, R. Conceição +6

Gamma-ray Bursts (GRB) were discovered by satellite-based detectors as powerful sources of transient -ray emission. The Fermi satellite detected an increasing number of these ev…

Measurement of the fluctuations in the number of muons in extensive air showers with the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +365

We present the first measurement of the fluctuations in the number of muons in extensive air showers produced by ultrahigh energy cosmic rays. We find that the measured fluctuation…

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…

Self-consistent approach for measuring the energy spectra and composition of cosmic rays and determining the properties of hadronic interactions at high energy

Andrea Addazi, Andy Buckley, Jose Bellido +25

Air showers, produced by the interaction of energetic cosmic rays with the atmosphere, are an excellent alternative to study particle physics at energies beyond any human-made part…

Measurement of the cosmic-ray energy spectrum above eV using the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +380

We report a measurement of the energy spectrum of cosmic rays for energies above eV based on 215,030 events recorded with zenith angles below . A k…
