A Model-Independent Method of Determining Energy Scale and Muon Number in Cosmic Ray Surface Detectors
Fabian Schmidt, Maximo Ave, Lorenzo Cazon +1
Surface detector arrays are designed to measure the spectrum and composition of high-energy cosmic rays by detecting the secondary particle flux of the Extensive Air Showers (EAS)…
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…
Applying Extensive Air Shower Universality to Ground Detector Data
Fabian Schmidt, Maximo Ave, Lorenzo Cazon +1
Air shower universality states that the electromagnetic part of hadron-induced extensive air showers (EAS) can be completely described in terms of the primary energy and shower age…
Aperture calculation of the Pierre Auger Observatory surface detector
D. Allard, I. Allekotte, E. Armengaud +11
We determine the instantaneous aperture and integrated exposure of the surface detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory, taking into account the trigger efficiency as a function of…
The trigger system of the Pierre Auger Surface Detector: operation, efficiency and stability
D. Allard, E. Armengaud, I. Allekotte +31
The trigger system of the Surface Detector (SD) of the Pierre Auger Observatory is described, from the identification of candidate showers ( EeV) at the level of a single stat…
