Prospects for the detection of gamma rays using Cherenkov telescopes enhanced by a ground array observatory
C. Alispach, A. Araudo, A. Bakalová +67
We study through detailed simulated data and their optimized analysis the expected performance of the Single-Mirror Small-Size imaging atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (SST-1M) pot…
Sensitivity of Hybrid Particle Detectors to the Energy Spectra of Air Shower Components
P. Assis, R. Conceição, P. J. Costa +2
Measuring the energy spectrum of air shower components crucial for understanding primary cosmic rays and the physical processes governing their interactions in the atmosphere. Howe…
Enhancing Neutrino Reconstruction in Water-Cherenkov Air Shower Arrays Using Multi-Photosensors
J. Alvarez-Muñiz, R. Colalillo, R. Conceição +6
In this article, the potential of water Cherenkov detectors equipped with multi-PMT modules for background-free upward-going neutrino detection and improved direction reconstructio…
The Scintillator Surface Detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration
Data collected so far by the Pierre Auger Observatory have enabled major advances in ultra-high energy cosmic ray physics and demonstrated that improved determination of masses of…
Scaler rates from the Pierre Auger Observatory: a new proxy of solar activity
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, I. Bizzarri, C. Dionese +1
The modulation of low-energy galactic cosmic rays reflects interplanetary magnetic field variations and can provide useful information on solar activity. An array of ground-surface…
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…
