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…
The highest-energy cosmic rays
James W. Cronin
This paper begins with a pedagogical discussion of the propagation of cosmic rays and the showers produced when a cosmic ray primary hits the upper atmosphere. The paper focusses c…
A Study Of Very Inclined Showers In The Pierre Auger Observatory
M. Ave
The Engineering Array of the Auger Observatory has been running successfully since 2001 and inclined showers have been recorded from the start. We have analysed the events with zen…
Calibration of the Pierre Auger fluorescence detector
M. D. Roberts
The absolute calibration of an air fluorescence detector (FD) is an important element in correctly determining the energy of detected cosmic rays. The absolute calibration relates…
The Composition of Cosmic Rays at the Knee
S. P. Swordy, L. F. Fortson, J. Hinton +21
The observation of a small change in spectral slope, or 'knee' in the fluxes of cosmic rays near energies 10^15 eV has caused much speculation since its discovery over 40 years ago…
On the detection of Ultra High Energy Neutrinos with the Auger Observatory
K. S. Capelle, J. W. Cronin, G. Parente +1
We show that the Auger Air Shower Array has the potential to detect neutrinos of energies in the eV range through horizontal air showers. Assuming some simple conservativ…
