A Parametrization of Cosmic Ray Shower Profiles Based on Shower Width
J. A. J. Matthews, R. Mesler, B. R. Becker +2
Cosmic ray (CR) air showers, detected via the air fluorescence technique, are reconstructed in part using functions that parameterize the longitudinal profile of each shower. The p…
The Fluorescence Detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, J. Abraham, P. Abreu +515
The Pierre Auger Observatory is a hybrid detector for ultra-high energy cosmic rays. It combines a surface array to measure secondary particles at ground level together with a fluo…
Operations of and Future Plans for the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, J. Abraham, P. Abreu +469
Technical reports on operations and features of the Pierre Auger Observatory, including ongoing and planned enhancements and the status of the future northern hemisphere portion of…
Calibration and Monitoring of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, J. Abraham, P. Abreu +470
Reports on the atmospheric monitoring, calibration, and other operating systems of the Pierre Auger Observatory. Contributions to the 31st International Cosmic Ray Conference, Lodz…
A Three-Point Cosmic Ray Anisotropy Method
J. D. Hague, B. R. Becker, M. S. Gold +1
The two-point angular correlation function is a traditional method used to search for deviations from expectations of isotropy. In this paper we develop and explore a statistically…
