The SLAC T-510 experiment for radio emission from particle showers: detailed simulation study and interpretation
K. Bechtol, K. Belov, K. Borch +26
Over the last several decades, radio detection of air showers has been widely used to detect ultra-high-energy cosmic rays. We developed an experiment under controlled laboratory c…
The AMY (Air Microwave Yield) experiment to measure the GHz emission from air shower plasma
J. Alvarez-Muniz, M. Blanco, M. Bohacova +28
The aim of the Air Microwave Yield (AMY) experiment is to investigate the Molecular Bremsstrahlung Radiation (MBR) emitted from an electron beam induced air-shower. The measurement…
Origin of atmospheric aerosols at the Pierre Auger Observatory using studies of air mass trajectories in South America
Pierre Auger Collaboration, Gabriele Curci
The Pierre Auger Observatory is making significant contributions towards understanding the nature and origin of ultra-high energy cosmic rays. One of its main challenges is the mon…
The Air Microwave Yield (AMY) experiment - A laboratory measurement of the microwave emission from extensive air showers
K. Louedec, J. Alvarez-Muñiz, M. Blanco +31
The AMY experiment aims to measure the microwave bremsstrahlung radiation (MBR) emitted by air-showers secondary electrons accelerating in collisions with neutral molecules of the…
Precise measurement of the absolute fluorescence yield of the 337 nm band in atmospheric gases
AIRFLY Collaboration, M. Ave, M. Bohacova +29
A measurement of the absolute fluorescence yield of the 337 nm nitrogen band, relevant to ultra-high energy cosmic ray (UHECR) detectors, is reported. Two independent calibrations…
Antennas for the Detection of Radio Emission Pulses from Cosmic-Ray induced Air Showers at the Pierre Auger Observatory
P. Abreu, M. Aglietta, M. Ahlers +512
The Pierre Auger Observatory is exploring the potential of the radio detection technique to study extensive air showers induced by ultra-high energy cosmic rays. The Auger Engineer…
