A novel method for the absolute fluorescence yield measurement by AIRFLY
AIRFLY Collaboration, M. Ave
One of the goals of the AIRFLY (AIR FLuorescence Yield) experiment is to measure the absolute fluorescence yield induced by electrons in air to better than 10% precision. We introd…
Correlation of the highest energy cosmic rays with nearby extragalactic objects
The Pierre Auger Collaboration
Using data collected at the Pierre Auger Observatory during the past 3.7 years, we demonstrated a correlation between the arrival directions of cosmic rays with energy above ~ 6x10…
Measurement of the pressure dependence of air fluorescence emission induced by electrons
AIRFLY Collaboration
The fluorescence detection of ultra high energy (> 10^18 eV) cosmic rays requires a detailed knowledge of the fluorescence light emission from nitrogen molecules, which are excited…
Anisotropy studies around the galactic centre at EeV energies with the Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration
Data from the Pierre Auger Observatory are analyzed to search for anisotropies near the direction of the Galactic Centre at EeV energies. The exposure of the surface array in this…
An upper limit to the photon fraction in cosmic rays above 10^19 eV from the Pierre Auger Observatory
Pierre Auger Collaboration
An upper limit of 16% (at 95% c.l.) is derived for the photon fraction in cosmic rays with energies greater than 10^19 eV, based on observations of the depth of shower maximum perf…
