Sites for Gamma-ray Astronomy in Argentina
A. C. Rovero, G. E. Romero, I. Allekotte +9
We have searched for possible sites in Argentina for the installation of large air Cherenkov telescope arrays and water Cherenkov systems. At present seven candidates are identifie…
Correlation of the highest-energy cosmic rays with the positions of nearby active galactic nuclei
The Pierre Auger Collaboration
Data collected by the Pierre Auger Observatory provide evidence for anisotropy in the arrival directions of the cosmic rays with the highest energies, which are correlated with the…
Search for Gamma Ray Bursts using the single particle technique at the Pierre Auger Observatory
X. Bertou
The Pierre Auger Observatory, with an array of currently more than 1200 Cherenkov detectors filled with 12 m of water, can detect the putative high energy emission of a GRB (ph…
Aperture calculation of the Pierre Auger Observatory surface detector
D. Allard, I. Allekotte, E. Armengaud +11
We determine the instantaneous aperture and integrated exposure of the surface detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory, taking into account the trigger efficiency as a function of…
The trigger system of the Pierre Auger Surface Detector: operation, efficiency and stability
D. Allard, E. Armengaud, I. Allekotte +31
The trigger system of the Surface Detector (SD) of the Pierre Auger Observatory is described, from the identification of candidate showers ( EeV) at the level of a single stat…
Observing muon decays in water Cherenkov detectors at the Pierre Auger Observatory
P. Allison, F. Arneodo, X. Bertou +9
Muons decaying in the water volume of a Cherenkov detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory provide a useful calibration point at low energy. Using the digitized waveform continuous…
