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…
Downward ultra-high-energy neutrino detection in the air with radio antennas at ground-based observatories
Baobiao Yue, Karl-Heinz Kampert, Julian Rautenberg
Ultra-high-energy (UHE) neutrinos are unique cosmic messengers that can traverse cosmological distances unattenuated, providing direct insight into the most energetic processes in…
Impact of coherent scattering on relic neutrinos boosted by cosmic rays
Jiajie Zhang, Alexander Sandrock, Jiajun Liao +1
Ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECR) scattering off the cosmic relic neutrino background have recently gained renewed interest in the literature. Current data suggest that (UHECR)…
Measuring the muon content of inclined air showers using AERA and the water-Cherenkov detectors of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Abdul Halim, P. Abreu +360
We present a novel approach for assessing the muon content of air showers with large zenith angles on a combined analysis of their radio emission and particle footprint. We use the…
Scaler data from the Pierre Auger Observatory as a proxy of solar activity
C. Taricco, I. Bizzarri, C. Dionese +1
Solar activity variations strongly impact the modulation of the flux of low-energy Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCRs) reaching the Earth. The secondary particles, which originate from the…
Search for UHE neutrinos from GRBs with the Pierre Auger Observatory
Yago Lema-Capeans
We report on the search for ultra-high-energy neutrinos from the prompt emission of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) using Surface Detector (SD) data from Phase I of the Pierre Auger Observ…
