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…
