NASA ASTRA Initiative White Paper: Space-Based Mission for Ultrahigh Energy Particles
Mauricio Bustamante, Johannes Eser, Ke Fang +9
Ultra-high-energy cosmic rays ( EeV) are the highest-energy particles known, signaling extreme particle processes at work in the universe. However, many aspec…
POEMMA-Balloon with Radio: A multi-messenger, multi-detector balloon payload
J. Adams, J. Alfaro, D. Allard +123
A review of the current status of the field of Ultra-High-Energy Cosmic Ray (UHECR) including a summary of remaining open questions was presented in the white paper "Ultra-High Ene…
Sensitivity of seasonal variations of the muon energy spectrum in air showers to hadronic interaction models and the cosmic-ray mass composition
Stef Verpoest, Marisol Catalan Olais, Frank Schroeder
The energy spectrum of muons produced in air showers depends not only on the properties of the primary particle, but also on the atmosphere. This is because of the competition betw…
Plans for a new array of radio antennas for the detection of air showers at the 433m surface-detector array of the Pierre Auger Observatory
Stef Verpoest, Frank Schroeder, Alexander Novikov +6
We present the design and science case for a new array of radio antennas to be located at the Pierre Auger Observatory. Six stations of three SKALA antennas each will be deployed a…
Science Potential and Technical Design of the IceCube-Gen2 Surface Array (UHECR 2024)
Frank G. Schroeder
IceCube-Gen2, the next generation extension of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole, offers a unique scientific potential for cosmic-ray physics at PeV to EeV energie…
Application of Machine Learning to Identify Radio Pulses of Air Showers at the South Pole (ARENA 2024)
Frank G. Schroeder, Abdul Rehman
Machine learning is a useful tool for identifying radio pulses from cosmic-ray air showers and for cleaning such pulses from radio background. This can lower the detection threshol…
