Muons in air showers at the Pierre Auger Observatory: Measurement of atmospheric production depth
Pierre Auger Collaboration
The surface detector array of the Pierre Auger Observatory provides information about the longitudinal development of the muonic component of extensive air showers. Using the timin…
Probing the radio emission from air showers with polarization measurements
Pierre Auger Collaboration
The emission of radio waves from air showers has been attributed to the so-called geomagnetic emission process. At frequencies around 50 MHz this process leads to coherent radiatio…
Identifying Clouds over the Pierre Auger Observatory using Infrared Satellite Data
Pierre Auger Collaboration
We describe a new method of identifying night-time clouds over the Pierre Auger Observatory using infrared data from the Imager instruments on the GOES-12 and GOES-13 satellites. W…
A Search for Point Sources of EeV Neutrons
The Pierre Auger Collaboration
A thorough search of the sky exposed at the Pierre Auger Cosmic Ray Observatory reveals no statistically significant excess of events in any small solid angle that would be indicat…
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…
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 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…
