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…

Calibration of the Logarithmic-Periodic Dipole Antenna (LPDA) Radio Stations at the Pierre Auger Observatory using an Octocopter

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +402

An in-situ calibration of a logarithmic periodic dipole antenna with a frequency coverage of 30 MHz to 80 MHz is performed. Such antennas are part of a radio station system used fo…

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…
