Observation of the Moon and Sun shadows with cosmic rays at an average energy of eV

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Abdul Halim, P. Abreu +346

Interactions of cosmic rays with the Moon and the Sun produce deficits in their arrival-direction distributions relative to an isotropic flux. Such shadows have been observed previ…

Quantifying energy fluence and its uncertainty for radio emission from particle cascades in the presence of noise

Sara Martinelli, Tim Huege, Diego Ravignani +1

Measurements of radio signals induced by an astroparticle generating a cascade present a challenge because they are always superposed with an irreducible noise contribution. Quanti…
