The AMY (Air Microwave Yield) experiment to measure the GHz emission from air shower plasma
J. Alvarez-Muniz, M. Blanco, M. Bohacova +28
The aim of the Air Microwave Yield (AMY) experiment is to investigate the Molecular Bremsstrahlung Radiation (MBR) emitted from an electron beam induced air-shower. The measurement…
The Pierre Auger Observatory Upgrade - Preliminary Design Report
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +462
The Pierre Auger Observatory has begun a major Upgrade of its already impressive capabilities, with an emphasis on improved mass composition determination using the surface detecto…
Exploiting the geomagnetic distortion of the inclined atmospheric showers
Pierre Billoir, Mariangela Settimo, Miguel Blanco
We propose a novel approach for the determination of the nature of ultra-high energy cosmic rays by exploiting the geomagnetic deviation of muons in nearly horizontal showers. The…
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…
Layered water Cherenkov detector for the study of ultra high energy cosmic rays
Antoine Letessier-Selvon, Pierre Billoir, Miguel Blanco +2
We present a new design for the water Cherenkov detectors that are in use in various cosmic ray observatories. This novel design can provide a significant improvement in the indepe…
The Air Microwave Yield (AMY) experiment - A laboratory measurement of the microwave emission from extensive air showers
K. Louedec, J. Alvarez-Muñiz, M. Blanco +31
The AMY experiment aims to measure the microwave bremsstrahlung radiation (MBR) emitted by air-showers secondary electrons accelerating in collisions with neutral molecules of the…
