The energy spectrum of cosmic rays beyond the turn-down around eV as measured with the surface detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, P. Abreu, M. Aglietta +374

We present a measurement of the cosmic-ray spectrum above 100\,PeV using the part of the surface detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory that has a spacing of 750~m. An inflection…

Muon identification in a compact single-layered water Cherenkov detector and gamma/hadron discrimination using Machine Learning techniques

R. Conceição, B. S. González, A. Guillén +2

The muon tagging is an essential tool to distinguish between gamma and hadron-induced showers in wide field-of-view gamma-ray observatories. In this work, it is shown that an effic…
