Arrival Directions of Cosmic Rays above 32 EeV from Phase One of the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, P. Abreu, M. Aglietta +372

A promising energy range to look for angular correlation between cosmic rays of extragalactic origin and their sources is at the highest energies, above few tens of EeV ($1\:{\rm E…

The UHECR dipole and quadrupole in the latest data from the original Auger and TA surface detectors

Peter Tinyakov, Luis Anchordoqui, Teresa Bister +13

The sources of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays are still unknown, but assuming standard physics, they are expected to lie within a few hundred megaparsecs from us. Indeed, over cosmo…

Data-driven estimation of the invisible energy of cosmic ray showers with the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +389

The determination of the primary energy of extensive air showers using the fluorescence detection technique requires an estimation of the energy carried away by particles that do n…

Identifying Clouds over the Pierre Auger Observatory using Infrared Satellite Data

Pierre Auger Collaboration

We describe a new method of identifying night-time clouds over the Pierre Auger Observatory using infrared data from the Imager instruments on the GOES-12 and GOES-13 satellites. W…

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…

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…
