A novel method for the absolute fluorescence yield measurement by AIRFLY
AIRFLY Collaboration, M. Ave
One of the goals of the AIRFLY (AIR FLuorescence Yield) experiment is to measure the absolute fluorescence yield induced by electrons in air to better than 10% precision. We introd…
Observation of the suppression of the flux of cosmic rays above 4x10^19eV
The Pierre Auger Collaboration
The energy spectrum of cosmic rays above 2.5x10^18eV, derived from 20,000 events recorded at the Pierre Auger Observatory, is described. The spectral index gamma of the flux, J ~ E…
Upper limit on the cosmic-ray photon flux above 10^19 eV using the surface detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration
A method is developed to search for air showers initiated by photons using data recorded by the surface detector of the Auger Observatory. The approach is based on observables sens…
Upper limit on the diffuse flux of UHE tau neutrinos from the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration
The surface detector array of the Pierre Auger Observatory is sensitive to Earth-skimming tau-neutrinos that interact in the Earth's crust. Tau leptons from charged-cur…
Measurement of the pressure dependence of air fluorescence emission induced by electrons
AIRFLY Collaboration
The fluorescence detection of ultra high energy (> 10^18 eV) cosmic rays requires a detailed knowledge of the fluorescence light emission from nitrogen molecules, which are excited…
Anisotropy studies around the galactic centre at EeV energies with the Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration
Data from the Pierre Auger Observatory are analyzed to search for anisotropies near the direction of the Galactic Centre at EeV energies. The exposure of the surface array in this…
An upper limit to the photon fraction in cosmic rays above 10^19 eV from the Pierre Auger Observatory
Pierre Auger Collaboration
An upper limit of 16% (at 95% c.l.) is derived for the photon fraction in cosmic rays with energies greater than 10^19 eV, based on observations of the depth of shower maximum perf…
