Bounds on Lorentz invariance violation from muon fluctuations at the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Abdul Halim, P. Abreu +357
Quantum gravity theories often modify spacetime symmetries. In particular, Lorentz invariance may be violated when approaching the Planck scale. Although the scales at which intera…
The Northern High Time Resolution Universe pulsar survey: II. Single-pulse search set-up and simulations
L. J. M. Houben, H. Falcke, L. G. Spitler +5
The High Time Resolution Universe (HTRU) survey is an all-sky survey looking for pulsars and other radio transients. A new single-pulse (SP) search pipeline is presented, tailored…
Search for ultra-high energy neutrons from Galactic sources with the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Abdul Halim, P. Abreu +357
Deflections in the propagation of charged ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) caused by magnetic fields make the identification of their sources challenging. On the other hand,…
Measuring the muon content of inclined air showers using AERA and the water-Cherenkov detectors of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Abdul Halim, P. Abreu +360
We present a novel approach for assessing the muon content of air showers with large zenith angles on a combined analysis of their radio emission and particle footprint. We use the…
Long-term calibration and validation of stability of the Auger Engineering Radio Array using the diffuse Galactic radio emission
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Abdul Halim, P. Abreu +356
The Auger Engineering Radio Array (AERA) measures radio emission from high-energy extensive air showers. Consisting of 153 autonomous radio-detector stations spread over \,km$^…
Quasi-constant time gap in multiple rings of elves
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Abdul Halim, P. Abreu +359
We present evidence that the time delay between the multiple rings of elves is not caused by the ground reflection of the electromagnetic pulse produced by intracloud lightning. To…
