REX: X-ray experiment on the Water Recovery Rocket
Martin Urban, Ondrej Nentvich, Tomas Baca +10
This paper presents Rocket Experiment (REX) that was part of a dual payload rocket campaign for NASA's sounding rocket Black Brant IX with water recovery technology. This mission w…
Studies on the response of a water-Cherenkov detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory to atmospheric muons using an RPC hodoscope
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +375
Extensive air showers, originating from ultra-high energy cosmic rays, have been successfully measured through the use of arrays of water-Cherenkov detectors (WCDs). Sophisticated…
Origins of Extragalactic Cosmic Ray Nuclei by Contracting Alignment Patterns induced in the Galactic Magnetic Field
Martin Erdmann, Lukas Geiger, David Schmidt +2
We present a novel approach to search for origins of ultra-high energy cosmic rays. These particles are likely nuclei that initiate extensive air showers in the Earth's atmosphere.…
Observation of inclined EeV air showers with the radio detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +392
With the Auger Engineering Radio Array (AERA) of the Pierre Auger Observatory, we have observed the radio emission from 561 extensive air showers with zenith angles between 60$^\ci…
Spectral Calibration of the Fluorescence Telescopes of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +403
We present a novel method to measure precisely the relative spectral response of the fluorescence telescopes of the Pierre Auger Observatory. We used a portable light source based…
The Pierre Auger Observatory Upgrade - Preliminary Design Report
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +462
The Pierre Auger Observatory has begun a major Upgrade of its already impressive capabilities, with an emphasis on improved mass composition determination using the surface detecto…
