Observational constraints on cosmic-ray escape from ultra-high energy accelerators
Antonio Condorelli, Quentin Luce, Sullivan Marafico +2
The energy spectrum and mass composition of ultra-high energy cosmic rays inferred at the Pierre Auger Observatory are used to derive a benchmark scenario for the emission mechanis…
A Catalog of the Highest-Energy Cosmic Rays Recorded During Phase I of Operation of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Abdul Halim, P. Abreu +376
A catalog containing details of the highest-energy cosmic rays recorded through the detection of extensive air-showers at the Pierre Auger Observatory is presented with the aim of…
Constraining the sources of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays across and above the ankle with the spectrum and composition data measured at the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Abdul Halim, P. Abreu +365
In this work we present the interpretation of the energy spectrum and mass composition data as measured by the Pierre Auger Collaboration above eV. We use an ast…
Searches for Ultra-High-Energy Photons at the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, P. Abreu, M. Aglietta +362
The Pierre Auger Observatory, being the largest air-shower experiment in the world, offers an unprecedented exposure to neutral particles at the highest energies. Since the start o…
Observational constraints on accelerators of ultra-high energy cosmic rays
Sullivan Marafico, Jonathan Biteau, Antonio Condorelli +2
We explore two generic hypotheses for tracing the sources of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) in the Universe: star formation rate density or stellar mass density. For each s…
Testing hadronic and photo-hadronic interactions as responsible for UHECR and neutrino fluxes from Starburst Galaxies
Antonio Condorelli, Denise Boncioli, Enrico Peretti +1
We test the hypothesis of starburst galaxies as sources of ultra-high energy cosmic rays and high-energy neutrinos. The computation of interactions of ultra-high energy cosmic rays…
Search for photons above 10 eV with the surface detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, P. Abreu, M. Aglietta +365
We use the surface detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory to search for air showers initiated by photons with an energy above eV. Photons in the zenith angle range from…
Cosmological implications of photon-flux upper limits at ultra-high energies in scenarios of Planckian-interacting massive particles for dark matter
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, P. Abreu, M. Aglietta +374
Using the data of the Pierre Auger Observatory, we report on a search for signatures that would be suggestive of super-heavy particles decaying in the Galactic halo. From the lack…
Observational constraints on cosmic-ray escape from UHE accelerators
Quentin Luce, Sullivan Marafico, Jonathan Biteau +2
Interactions of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) accelerated in specific astrophysical environments have been shown to shape the energy production rate of nuclei differently…
Investigating Hadronic Interactions at Ultra-High Energies with the Pierre Auger Observatory
Isabel Goos, :, P. Abreu +374
The development of an extensive air shower depends not only on the nature of the primary ultra-high-energy cosmic ray but also on the properties of the hadronic interactions. For e…
Limits to gauge coupling in the dark sector set by the non-observation of instanton-induced decay of Super-Heavy Dark Matter in the Pierre Auger Observatory data
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, P. Abreu, M. Aglietta +374
Instantons, which are non-perturbative solutions to Yang-Mills equations, provide a signal for the occurrence of quantum tunneling between distinct classes of vacua. They can give…
Testing effects of Lorentz invariance violation in the propagation of astroparticles with the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, P. Abreu, M. Aglietta +374
Lorentz invariance violation (LIV) is often described by dispersion relations of the form with delta different based on particle type , with…
