MARTA: A high-energy cosmic-ray detector concept with high-accuracy muon measurement

P. Abreu, S. Andringa, P. Assis +42

A new concept for the direct measurement of muons in air showers is presented. The concept is based on resistive plate chambers (RPCs), which can directly measure muons with very g…

Testing Hadronic Interactions at Ultrahigh Energies with Air Showers Measured by the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +435

Ultrahigh energy cosmic ray air showers probe particle physics at energies beyond the reach of accelerators. Here we introduce a new method to test hadronic interaction models with…

Measurement of the Radiation Energy in the Radio Signal of Extensive Air Showers as a Universal Estimator of Cosmic-Ray Energy

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, Alexander Aab, Pedro Abreu +447

We measure the energy emitted by extensive air showers in the form of radio emission in the frequency range from 30 to 80 MHz. Exploiting the accurate energy scale of the Pierre Au…

Azimuthal asymmetry in the risetime of the surface detector signals of the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +436

The azimuthal asymmetry in the risetime of signals in Auger surface detector stations is a source of information on shower development. The azimuthal asymmetry is due to a combinat…
