Search for active-sterile neutrino transitions using Pierre Auger Observatory data
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Abdul Halim, P. Abreu +348
We investigate the sensitivity of the Pierre Auger Observatory to physics beyond the Standard Model arising from magnetic-moment-induced transitions between active and heavy steril…
Azimuthal fluctuations and number of muons at the ground in muon-depleted proton air showers at PeV energies
A. Bakalová, R. Conceição, L. Gibilisco +4
Muon counting is an effective strategy for discriminating between gamma and hadron-initiated air showers. However, their detection, which requires shielded detectors, is highly exp…
Universality of the muon component of extensive air showers
Lorenzo Cazon, Rúben Conceição, Felix Riehn
In extensive air shower experiments, the number of muons crossing a detector at a given position, as well as their arrival time, arrival direction, and energy, are determined by a…
Evaluation of the potential of a gamma-ray observatory to detect astrophysical neutrinos through inclined showers
Jaime Alvarez-Muñiz, Ruben Conceição, Pedro J. Costa +2
We assess the capabilities of a ground-based gamma-ray observatory to detect astrophysical neutrinos with energies in the to range. The identifica…
: a new variable for discrimination in large gamma-ray ground arrays
R. Conceição, B. S. González, M. Pimenta +1
In this letter, a new strategy to enhance the discrimination of high energy gamma rays from the huge charged cosmic rays background in large cosmic rays ground arrays is presented.…
Probing the high energy spectrum of neutral pions in ultra-high energy proton-Air interactions
Lorenzo Cazon, Ruben Conceição, Miguel Martins +1
The interaction of ultra-high energy cosmic rays with the atmosphere nuclei has long been seen as a unique opportunity to study hadronic interactions above energies attainable by a…
