Calibration of the Surface Array of the Pierre Auger Observatory
X. Bertou, P. S. Allison, C. Bonifazi +23
The Pierre Auger Observatory is designed to study cosmic rays of the highest energies ( eV). The ground array of the Observatory will consist of 1600 water Cherenkov dete…
LPNHE scientific perspectives for the European Strategy for Particle Physics
E. Ben Haim, G. Bernardi, E. Bertholet +38
This note summarizes the activities and the scientific and technical perspectives of the Laboratoire de Physique Nucleaire et de Hautes Energies (LPNHE) at Sorbonne University, Par…
A study of photons at ultra high energy using Auger surface detector
Guillaume Decerprit, N. G. Busca, E. Parizot
We present a new method to derive an upper limit on the ultra-high-energy (UHE) photon flux above a given energy, using the Auger SD events. As previous studies, it takes advantage…
Mock Catalogs for UHECR Studies
A. Berlind, N. Busca, G. R. Farrar +1
We provide realistic mock-catalogs of cosmic rays above 40 EeV, for a pure proton composition, assuming their sources are a random subset of ordinary galaxies in a simulated, volum…
Trigger and Aperture of the Surface Detector Array of the Pierre Auger Observatory
J. Abraham, P. Abreu, M. Aglietta +469
The surface detector array of the Pierre Auger Observatory consists of 1600 water-Cherenkov detectors, for the study of extensive air showers (EAS) generated by ultra-high-energy c…
Extended clustering analyses to constrain the deflection angular scale and source density of the ultra-high-energy cosmic rays
Guillaume Decerprit, Nicolas G. Busca, Etienne Parizot
The search of a clustering signal in the arrival directions of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) is a standard method to assess the level of anisotropy of the data sets under…
