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…
Performance of the Pierre Auger Observatory Surface Array
The Pierre Auger Collaboration
The surface detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory is a 1600 water Cherenkov tank array on a triangular 1.5 km grid. The signals from each tank are read out using three 9'' photo…
Detecting gamma-ray bursts with the Pierre Auger Observatory using the single particle technique
D. Allard, E. Parizot, X. Bertou +4
During the past ten years, gamma-ray bursts (GRB) have been extensively studied in the keV-MeV energy range but the high energy emission still remain mysterious. Ground based obser…
