Identifying Clouds over the Pierre Auger Observatory using Infrared Satellite Data

Pierre Auger Collaboration

We describe a new method of identifying night-time clouds over the Pierre Auger Observatory using infrared data from the Imager instruments on the GOES-12 and GOES-13 satellites. W…

The Lateral Trigger Probability function for the Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Ray Showers detected by the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, P. Abreu, M. Aglietta +495

In this paper we introduce the concept of Lateral Trigger Probability (LTP) function, i.e., the probability for an extensive air shower (EAS) to trigger an individual detector of a…

Measurement of the Depth of Maximum of Extensive Air Showers above 10^18 eV

The Pierre Auger Collaboration

We describe the measurement of the depth of maximum, Xmax, of the longitudinal development of air showers induced by cosmic rays. Almost four thousand events above 10^18 eV observe…
