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…

Observation of the suppression of the flux of cosmic rays above 4x10^19eV

The Pierre Auger Collaboration

The energy spectrum of cosmic rays above 2.5x10^18eV, derived from 20,000 events recorded at the Pierre Auger Observatory, is described. The spectral index gamma of the flux, J ~ E…
