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…
Measurement of Aerosols at the Pierre Auger Observatory
S. Y. BenZvi, F. Arqueros, R. Cester +38
The air fluorescence detectors (FDs) of the Pierre Auger Observatory are vital for the determination of the air shower energy scale. To compensate for variations in atmospheric con…
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…
Absolute Calibration of the Auger Fluorescence Detectors
P. Bauleo, J. Brack, L. Garrard +6
Absolute calibration of the Pierre Auger Observatory fluorescence detectors uses a light source at the telescope aperture. The technique accounts for the ombined effects of all det…
The Central Laser Facility at the Pierre Auger Observatory
F. Arqueros, J. Bellido, C. Covault +18
The Central Laser Facility is located near the middle of the Pierre Auger Observatory in Argentina. It features a UV laser and optics that direct a beam of calibrated pulsed light…
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…
