Statistical Tools for Analyzing the Cosmic Ray Energy Spectrum
J. D. Hague, B. R. Becker, M. S. Gold +1
In this paper un-binned statistical tools for analyzing the cosmic ray energy spectrum are developed and illustrated with a simulated data set. The methods are designed to extract…
Correlation of the highest-energy cosmic rays with the positions of nearby active galactic nuclei
The Pierre Auger Collaboration
Data collected by the Pierre Auger Observatory provide evidence for anisotropy in the arrival directions of the cosmic rays with the highest energies, which are correlated with the…
Statistical Methods for Investigating the Cosmic Ray Energy Spectrum
J. D. Hague, B. R. Becker, M. S. Gold +2
Two separate statistical tests are described and developed in order to test un-binned data sets for adherence to the power-law form. The first test employs the TP-statistic, a func…
The Absolute, Relative and Multi-Wavelength Calibration of the Pierre Auger Observatory Fluorescence Detectors
R. Knapik, P. Bauleo, B. R. Becker +20
Absolute calibration of the Pierre Auger Observatory fluorescence detectors uses a 375 nm light source at the telescope aperture. This end-to-end technique accounts for the combine…
Search for Correlations between Nearby AGNs and Ultra-high Energy Cosmic Rays
J. D. Hague, J. A. J. Matthews, B. R. Becker +1
The majority of the highest energy cosmic rays are thought to be electrically charged: protons or nuclei. Charged particles experience angular deflections as they pass through gala…
Power Laws and the Cosmic Ray Energy Spectrum
J. D. Hague, B. R. Becker, M. S. Gold +1
Two separate statistical tests are applied to the AGASA and preliminary Auger Cosmic Ray Energy spectra in an attempt to find deviation from a pure power-law. The first test is con…
