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…
The MIDAS telescope for microwave detection of ultra-high energy cosmic rays
J. Alvarez-Muñiz, E. Amaral Soares, A. Berlin +19
We present the design, implementation and data taking performance of the MIcrowave Detection of Air Showers (MIDAS) experiment, a large field of view imaging telescope designed to…
The Rapid Atmospheric Monitoring System of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, P. Abreu, M. Aglietta +508
The Pierre Auger Observatory is a facility built to detect air showers produced by cosmic rays above 10^17 eV. During clear nights with a low illuminated moon fraction, the UV fluo…
Measurement of the cosmic ray energy spectrum using hybrid events of the Pierre Auger Observatory
Mariangela Settimo
The energy spectrum of ultra-high energy cosmic rays above 10 eV is measured using the hybrid events collected by the Pierre Auger Observatory between November 2005 and Sept…
Search for microwave emission from ultrahigh energy cosmic rays
J. Alvarez-Muñiz, A. Berlin, M. Bogdan +17
We present a search for microwave emission from air showers induced by ultrahigh energy cosmic rays with the microwave detection of air showers experiment. No events were found, ru…
A search for ultra-high energy neutrinos in highly inclined events at the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, P. Abreu, M. Aglietta +497
The Surface Detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory is sensitive to neutrinos of all flavours above 0.1 EeV. These interact through charged and neutral currents in the atmosphere…
Description of Atmospheric Conditions at the Pierre Auger Observatory using the Global Data Assimilation System (GDAS)
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, P. Abreu, M. Aglietta +499
Atmospheric conditions at the site of a cosmic ray observatory must be known for reconstructing observed extensive air showers. The Global Data Assimilation System (GDAS) is a glob…
