CORSIKA 8: A General Framework for Particle Cascade Simulations
J. M. Alameddine, J. Albrecht, A. A Alves +34
The simulation of extensive air showers and particle cascades in general is a cornerstone of modern astroparticle physics. For more than two decades, CORSIKA, currently in version…
Towards a Cosmic-Ray Energy Scale with the Auger Engineering Radio Array
Max Büsken
Radio detection of cosmic-ray (CR) induced extensive air showers with digital antenna arrays is a matured technique by now. At the Pierre Auger Observatory, the Auger Engineering R…
Simulations of cross media showers with CORSIKA 8
Juan Ammerman-Yebra, Uzair Abdul Latif, Nikolaos Karastathis +2
The CORSIKA 8 project aims to develop a versatile and modern framework for particle shower simulations that meets the new needs of experiments and addresses the caveats of existing…
Parallel processing of radio signals and detector arrays in CORSIKA 8
A. Augusto Alves, Nikolaos Karastathis, Tim Huege
This contribution describes some recent advances in the parallelization of the generation and processing of radio signals emitted by particle showers in CORSIKA 8. CORSIKA 8 is a M…
The FRAM robotic telescope for atmospheric monitoring at the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +377
FRAM (F/Photometric Robotic Atmospheric Monitor) is a robotic telescope operated at the Pierre Auger Observatory in Argentina for the purposes of atmospheric monitoring using stell…
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…
CORSIKA 8 - Towards a modern framework for the simulation of extensive air showers
Maximilian Reininghaus, Ralf Ulrich
Current and future challenges in astroparticle physics require novel simulation tools to achieve higher precision and more flexibility. For three decades the FORTRAN version of COR…
Towards a Next Generation of CORSIKA: A Framework for the Simulation of Particle Cascades in Astroparticle Physics
Ralph Engel, Dieter Heck, Tim Huege +6
A large scientific community depends on the precise modelling of complex processes in particle cascades in various types of matter. These models are used most prevalently in cosmic…
Observation of inclined EeV air showers with the radio detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +392
With the Auger Engineering Radio Array (AERA) of the Pierre Auger Observatory, we have observed the radio emission from 561 extensive air showers with zenith angles between 60$^\ci…
