Impact of atmospheric effects on the energy reconstruction of air showers observed by the surface detectors of the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Collaboration

Atmospheric conditions, such as the pressure (P), temperature (T) or air density (), affect the development of extended air showers initiated by energetic cosmic rays…

Calibration of the Logarithmic-Periodic Dipole Antenna (LPDA) Radio Stations at the Pierre Auger Observatory using an Octocopter

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +402

An in-situ calibration of a logarithmic periodic dipole antenna with a frequency coverage of 30 MHz to 80 MHz is performed. Such antennas are part of a radio station system used fo…

A targeted search for point sources of EeV photons with the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +397

Simultaneous measurements of air showers with the fluorescence and surface detectors of the Pierre Auger Observatory allow a sensitive search for EeV photon point sources. Several…

Search for ultrarelativistic magnetic monopoles with the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +411

We present a search for ultra-relativistic magnetic monopoles with the Pierre Auger Observatory. Such particles, possibly a relic of phase transitions in the early universe, would…

Evidence for a mixed mass composition at the `ankle' in the cosmic-ray spectrum

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +423

We report a first measurement for ultra-high energy cosmic rays of the correlation between the depth of shower maximum and the signal in the water Cherenkov stations of air-showers…

Large scale distribution of ultra high energy cosmic rays detected at the Pierre Auger Observatory with zenith angles up to 80

The Pierre Auger Collaboration

We present the results of an analysis of the large angular scale distribution of the arrival directions of cosmic rays with energy above 4 EeV detected at the Pierre Auger Observat…
