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…
Sensitivity of EAS measurements to the energy spectrum of muons
J. Espadanal, L. Cazon, R. Conceição
We have studied how the energy spectrum of muons at production affects some of the most common measurements related to muons in extensive air shower studies, namely, the number of…
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…
Interpretation of measurements of the number of muons in extensive air shower experiments
Raul Ribeiro Prado, Ruben Conceição, Mário Pimenta +1
In this paper we analyze the energy evolution of the muon content of air showers between and eV to be able to determine the most likely mass composition sce…
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…
