Inferences on Mass Composition and Tests of Hadronic Interactions from 0.3 to 100 EeV using the water-Cherenkov Detectors of the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +403

We present a new method for probing the hadronic interaction models at ultra-high energy and extracting details about mass composition. This is done using the time profiles of the…

Spectral Calibration of the Fluorescence Telescopes of the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +403

We present a novel method to measure precisely the relative spectral response of the fluorescence telescopes of the Pierre Auger Observatory. We used a portable light source based…

Observation of a Large-scale Anisotropy in the Arrival Directions of Cosmic Rays above eV

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +404

Cosmic rays are atomic nuclei arriving from outer space that reach the highest energies observed in nature. Clues to their origin come from studying the distribution of their arriv…

Testing Hadronic Interactions at Ultrahigh Energies with Air Showers Measured by the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +435

Ultrahigh energy cosmic ray air showers probe particle physics at energies beyond the reach of accelerators. Here we introduce a new method to test hadronic interaction models with…

Ultrahigh-energy neutrino follow-up of Gravitational Wave events GW150914 and GW151226 with the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +410

On September 14, 2015 the Advanced LIGO detectors observed their first gravitational-wave (GW) transient GW150914. This was followed by a second GW event observed on December 26, 2…

Measurement of the Radiation Energy in the Radio Signal of Extensive Air Showers as a Universal Estimator of Cosmic-Ray Energy

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, Alexander Aab, Pedro Abreu +447

We measure the energy emitted by extensive air showers in the form of radio emission in the frequency range from 30 to 80 MHz. Exploiting the accurate energy scale of the Pierre Au…
