Cosmological implications of photon-flux upper limits at ultra-high energies in scenarios of Planckian-interacting massive particles for dark matter
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, P. Abreu, M. Aglietta +374
Using the data of the Pierre Auger Observatory, we report on a search for signatures that would be suggestive of super-heavy particles decaying in the Galactic halo. From the lack…
Investigating Hadronic Interactions at Ultra-High Energies with the Pierre Auger Observatory
Isabel Goos, :, P. Abreu +374
The development of an extensive air shower depends not only on the nature of the primary ultra-high-energy cosmic ray but also on the properties of the hadronic interactions. For e…
Limits to gauge coupling in the dark sector set by the non-observation of instanton-induced decay of Super-Heavy Dark Matter in the Pierre Auger Observatory data
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, P. Abreu, M. Aglietta +374
Instantons, which are non-perturbative solutions to Yang-Mills equations, provide a signal for the occurrence of quantum tunneling between distinct classes of vacua. They can give…
The Mercedes water Cherenkov detector
P. Assis, A. Bakalová, U. Barres de Almeida +13
The concept of a small, single-layer water Cherenkov detector, with three photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), placed at its bottom in a star configuration (\emph{Mercedes}…
Testing effects of Lorentz invariance violation in the propagation of astroparticles with the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, P. Abreu, M. Aglietta +374
Lorentz invariance violation (LIV) is often described by dispersion relations of the form with delta different based on particle type , with…
Physics Performance of the Large-Sized Telescope prototype of the Cherenkov Telescope Array
R. López-Coto, A. Moralejo, M. Artero +15
The Large-Sized Telescope (LST) prototype of the future Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is located at the Northern site of CTA, on the Canary Island of La Palma. It is designed to…
