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…
Probing the radio emission from air showers with polarization measurements
Pierre Auger Collaboration
The emission of radio waves from air showers has been attributed to the so-called geomagnetic emission process. At frequencies around 50 MHz this process leads to coherent radiatio…
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…
Constraints on the origin of cosmic rays above eV from large scale anisotropy searches in data of the Pierre Auger Observatory
Pierre Auger Collaboration
A thorough search for large scale anisotropies in the distribution of arrival directions of cosmic rays detected above eV at the Pierre Auger Observatory is reported. For…
A Search for Point Sources of EeV Neutrons
The Pierre Auger Collaboration
A thorough search of the sky exposed at the Pierre Auger Cosmic Ray Observatory reveals no statistically significant excess of events in any small solid angle that would be indicat…
A search for anisotropy in the arrival directions of ultra high energy cosmic rays recorded at the Pierre Auger Observatory
Pierre Auger Collaboration
Observations of cosmic ray arrival directions made with the Pierre Auger Observatory have previously provided evidence of anisotropy at the 99% CL using the correlation of ultra hi…
Large scale distribution of arrival directions of cosmic rays detected above eV at the Pierre Auger Observatory
Pierre Auger Collaboration
A thorough search for large scale anisotropies in the distribution of arrival directions of cosmic rays detected above eV at the Pierre Auger Observatory is presented. Th…
Measurement of the proton-air cross-section at TeV with the Pierre Auger Observatory
Pierre Auger Collaboration
We report a measurement of the proton-air cross-section for particle production at the center-of-mass energy per nucleon of 57 TeV. This is derived from the distribution of the dep…
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…
The Pierre Auger Observatory V: Enhancements
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, P. Abreu, M. Aglietta +493
Ongoing and planned enhancements of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The exposure of the hybrid detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration
The Pierre Auger Observatory is a detector for ultra-high energy cosmic rays. It consists of a surface array to measure secondary particles at ground level and a fluorescence detec…
Measurement of the energy spectrum of cosmic rays above 10^18 eV using the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration
We report a measurement of the flux of cosmic rays with unprecedented precision and statistics using the Pierre Auger Observatory. Based on fluorescence observations in coincidence…
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…
Atmospheric effects on extensive air showers observed with the Surface Detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration
Atmospheric parameters, such as pressure (P), temperature (T) and density, affect the development of extensive air showers initiated by energetic cosmic rays. We have studied the i…
Limit on the diffuse flux of ultra-high energy tau neutrinos with the surface detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration
Data collected at the Pierre Auger Observatory are used to establish an upper limit on the diffuse flux of tau neutrinos in the cosmic radiation. Earth-skimming may interact…
