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…
Design and expected performance of a novel hybrid detector for very-high-energy gamma astrophysics
P. Assis, U. Barres de Almeida, A. Blanco +10
Current detectors for Very-High-Energy -ray astrophysics are either pointing instruments with a small field of view (Cherenkov telescopes), or large field-of-view instruments wi…
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…
Outdoor Field Experience with Autonomous RPC Based Stations
L. Lopes, P. Assis, A. Blanco +12
In the last two decades Resistive Plate Chambers were employed in the Cosmic Ray Experiments COVER-PLASTEX and ARGO/YBJ. In both experiments the detectors were housed indoors, like…
Prototype muon detectors for the AMIGA component of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +451
Auger Muons and Infill for the Ground Array) is an upgrade of the Pierre Auger Observatory to extend its range of detection and to directly measure the muon content of the particle…
