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…

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…
