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…
Performance of the Pierre Auger Observatory Surface Detector
Tiina Suomijarvi
The Surface Detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory will consist of 1600 water Cherenkov tanks sampling ground particles of air showers produced by energetic cosmic rays. The arri…
Photodisintegration of Ultra-High-Energy Cosmic Rays revisited
E. Khan, S. Goriely, D. Allard +5
Recent microscopic and phenomenological calculations of giant dipole resonances for A <= 56 nuclei are presented. The derived photodisintegration cross sections are exhaustively co…
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…
