The Surface Detector System of the Pierre Auger Observatory
I. Allekotte, A. F. Barbosa, P. Bauleo +17
The Pierre Auger Observatory is designed to study cosmic rays with energies greater than 10^{19} eV. Two sites are envisaged for the observatory, one in each hemisphere, for comple…
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 Ultra-High Energy Photons with the Pierre Auger Observatory
M. D. Healy
Data taken at the Pierre Auger Observatory are used to search for air showers initiated by ultra-high energy (UHE) photons. Results of searches are reported from hybrid observation…
Composition of UHECR and the Pierre Auger Observatory Spectrum
Katsushi Arisaka, Graciela B. Gelmini, Matthew Healy +2
We fit the recently published Pierre Auger ultra-high energy cosmic ray spectrum assuming that either nucleons or nuclei are emitted at the sources. We consider the simplified case…
Composition-sensitive parameters measured with the surface detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory
M. D. Healy
A key step towards the understanding of the origin of ultra-high energy cosmic rays is their mass composition. Primary photons and neutrinos produce markedly different showers from…
