Studies on the response of a water-Cherenkov detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory to atmospheric muons using an RPC hodoscope
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +375
Extensive air showers, originating from ultra-high energy cosmic rays, have been successfully measured through the use of arrays of water-Cherenkov detectors (WCDs). Sophisticated…
The sub-TeV transient Gamma-Ray sky: challenges and opportunities
G. La Mura, P. Assis, A. Blanco +29
The detection of gravitational waves and neutrinos from astrophysical sources with gamma-ray counterparts officially started the era of Multi-Messenger Astronomy. Their transient a…
Observation of inclined EeV air showers with the radio detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +392
With the Auger Engineering Radio Array (AERA) of the Pierre Auger Observatory, we have observed the radio emission from 561 extensive air showers with zenith angles between 60$^\ci…
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…
Autonomous RPCs for a Cosmic Ray ground array
Pedro Assis, Alberto Blanco, Nuno Carolino +15
We report on the behaviour of Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC) developed for muon detection in ultra-high energy cosmic ray (UHECR) experiments. The RPCs were developed for the MARTA…
LATTES: a novel detector concept for a gamma-ray experiment in the Southern hemisphere
P. Assis, U. Barres de Almeida, A. Blanco +10
The Large Array Telescope for Tracking Energetic Sources (LATTES), is a novel concept for an array of hybrid EAS array detectors, composed of a Resistive Plate Counter array couple…
