Observation of the Moon and Sun shadows with cosmic rays at an average energy of eV
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Abdul Halim, P. Abreu +346
Interactions of cosmic rays with the Moon and the Sun produce deficits in their arrival-direction distributions relative to an isotropic flux. Such shadows have been observed previ…
Search for active-sterile neutrino transitions using Pierre Auger Observatory data
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Abdul Halim, P. Abreu +348
We investigate the sensitivity of the Pierre Auger Observatory to physics beyond the Standard Model arising from magnetic-moment-induced transitions between active and heavy steril…
Proton-air interaction properties at TeV from shower-depth measurements with the Pierre Auger Observatory and their connection to the Muon Puzzle
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Abdul Halim, P. Abreu +347
Hybrid measurements at the Pierre Auger Observatory indicate that most high-energy hadronic interaction models underestimate the average depth of the shower maximum, $\langle X_{\m…
The impact of plasma instability cooling on intergalactic magnetic field constraints in GeV cascades for optimized instability cooling parameters
Suman Dey, Simone Rossoni, Günter Sigl
Electromagnetic cascades are initiated by TeV gamma rays propagating through the intergalactic medium (IGM), and they can be used to constrain the weak intergalactic magnetic field…
Measuring the muon content of inclined air showers using AERA and the water-Cherenkov detectors of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Abdul Halim, P. Abreu +360
We present a novel approach for assessing the muon content of air showers with large zenith angles on a combined analysis of their radio emission and particle footprint. We use the…
The distribution of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays along the supergalactic plane measured at the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Abdul Halim, P. Abreu +364
Ultra-high-energy cosmic rays are known to be mainly of extragalactic origin, and their propagation is limited by energy losses, so their arrival directions are expected to correla…
