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…

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…

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 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…
