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 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…

Atmospheric effects on extensive air showers observed with the Surface Detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Collaboration

Atmospheric parameters, such as pressure (P), temperature (T) and density, affect the development of extensive air showers initiated by energetic cosmic rays. We have studied the i…
