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…
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…
Search for UHE neutrinos from GRBs with the Pierre Auger Observatory
Yago Lema-Capeans
We report on the search for ultra-high-energy neutrinos from the prompt emission of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) using Surface Detector (SD) data from Phase I of the Pierre Auger Observ…
New full-sky studies of the distribution of ultra-high-energy cosmic-ray arrival directions
A. Gálvez Ureña, L. Anchordoqui, M. Bianciotto +17
Ground-based full-sky studies of the angular distribution of arrival directions of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays require combining data from different observatories, such as the Pi…
Study of solar activity with AERA at the Pierre Auger Observatory
R. M. de Almeida
Solar activity events release vast amounts of energy, including radio waves, X-rays, ultraviolet radiation, and energetic particles, which interact with the ionosphere of the Earth…
Modified Hadronic Interactions and the future of UHECR observations
Jan Ebr, JiÅà Blažek, Jakub VÃcha +5
Data from multiple experiments suggest that the current interaction models used in Monte Carlo simulations do not correctly reproduce the hadronic interactions in air showers produ…
