Ultra-high energy cosmic rays: from GeV to ZeV
Gustavo A. Medina-Tanco
Cosmic ray (CR) particles arrive at the top of the Earth's atmosphere at a rate of around 1000 per square meter per second. They are mostly ionized nuclei - about 90% protons, 9% a…
Enhancing the Pierre Auger Observatory to the 10^{17} to 10^{18.5} eV Range: Capabilities of an Infill Surface Array
M. C. Medina, M. Gomez Berisso, I. Allekotte +3
The Pierre Auger Observatory has been designed to study the highest-energy cosmic rays in nature (E > 10^{18.5} eV). The determination of their arrival direction, energy and compos…
A multivariate study of mass composition for simulated showers at the Auger South Observatory
Gustavo A. Medina Tanco, Sergio J. Sciutto
The output parameters from the ground array of the Auger South observatory, were simulated for the typical instrumental and environmental conditions at its Malargüe site using the…
UHECR Anisotropy and the Galactic Halo
Gustavo Medina Tanco, Alan A. Watson
Several explanations for the existence of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR) invoke the idea that they originate from the decay of massive particles created in the reheating fol…
UHECR spectrum: the spatial distribution of the sources
Gustavo Medina Tanco
The Ultra-high energy cosmic ray energy spectrum summarized by the AGASA collaboration indicates clearly that the cosmic ray spectrum extends well beyond the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmi…
Origin and Propagation of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays
Gustavo A. Medina Tanco, Elisabete M. de Gouveia Dal Pino, Jorge E. Horvatth
The existence of cosmic ray particles up to the ultra-high energy limit (> 10^20 eV) is now beyond any doubt. The detection of cosmic particles with such energies imposes a challen…
