Probing the radio emission from air showers with polarization measurements
Pierre Auger Collaboration
The emission of radio waves from air showers has been attributed to the so-called geomagnetic emission process. At frequencies around 50 MHz this process leads to coherent radiatio…
Constraints on the origin of cosmic rays above eV from large scale anisotropy searches in data of the Pierre Auger Observatory
Pierre Auger Collaboration
A thorough search for large scale anisotropies in the distribution of arrival directions of cosmic rays detected above eV at the Pierre Auger Observatory is reported. For…
A Search for Point Sources of EeV Neutrons
The Pierre Auger Collaboration
A thorough search of the sky exposed at the Pierre Auger Cosmic Ray Observatory reveals no statistically significant excess of events in any small solid angle that would be indicat…
A search for anisotropy in the arrival directions of ultra high energy cosmic rays recorded at the Pierre Auger Observatory
Pierre Auger Collaboration
Observations of cosmic ray arrival directions made with the Pierre Auger Observatory have previously provided evidence of anisotropy at the 99% CL using the correlation of ultra hi…
Large scale distribution of arrival directions of cosmic rays detected above eV at the Pierre Auger Observatory
Pierre Auger Collaboration
A thorough search for large scale anisotropies in the distribution of arrival directions of cosmic rays detected above eV at the Pierre Auger Observatory is presented. Th…
The Lateral Trigger Probability function for the Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Ray Showers detected by the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, P. Abreu, M. Aglietta +495
In this paper we introduce the concept of Lateral Trigger Probability (LTP) function, i.e., the probability for an extensive air shower (EAS) to trigger an individual detector of a…
The exposure of the hybrid detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration
The Pierre Auger Observatory is a detector for ultra-high energy cosmic rays. It consists of a surface array to measure secondary particles at ground level and a fluorescence detec…
Measurement of the energy spectrum of cosmic rays above 10^18 eV using the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration
We report a measurement of the flux of cosmic rays with unprecedented precision and statistics using the Pierre Auger Observatory. Based on fluorescence observations in coincidence…
Measurement of the Depth of Maximum of Extensive Air Showers above 10^18 eV
The Pierre Auger Collaboration
We describe the measurement of the depth of maximum, Xmax, of the longitudinal development of air showers induced by cosmic rays. Almost four thousand events above 10^18 eV observe…
A new method to measure the attenuation of hadrons in extensive air showers
W. D. Apel
Extensive air showers are generated through interactions of high-energy cosmic rays impinging the Earth's atmosphere. A new method is described to infer the attenuation of hadrons…
Limit on the diffuse flux of ultra-high energy tau neutrinos with the surface detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration
Data collected at the Pierre Auger Observatory are used to establish an upper limit on the diffuse flux of tau neutrinos in the cosmic radiation. Earth-skimming may interact…
Test of the hadronic interaction model EPOS with air shower data
Grande Collaboration, W. D. Apel
Predictions of the hadronic interaction model EPOS~1.61 as implemented in the air shower simulation program CORSIKA are compared to observations with the KASCADE experiment. The in…
