Test for the Origin of Solar Mass Black Holes
Volodymyr Takhistov, George M. Fuller, Alexander Kusenko
Solar-mass black holes with masses in the range of are not expected from conventional stellar evolution, but can be produced naturally via neutron star (NS)…
New Constraints on Millicharged Particles from Cosmic-ray Production
Ryan Plestid, Volodymyr Takhistov, Yu-Dai Tsai +3
We study the production of exotic millicharged particles (MCPs) from cosmic ray-atmosphere collisions which constitutes a permanent MCP production source for all terrestrial experi…
Self-interacting asymmetric dark matter coupled to a light massive dark photon
Kalliopi Petraki, Lauren Pearce, Alexander Kusenko
Dark matter (DM) with sizeable self-interactions mediated by a light species offers a compelling explanation of the observed galactic substructure; furthermore, the direct coupling…
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…
