Inferences on Mass Composition and Tests of Hadronic Interactions from 0.3 to 100 EeV using the water-Cherenkov Detectors of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +403
We present a new method for probing the hadronic interaction models at ultra-high energy and extracting details about mass composition. This is done using the time profiles of the…
Observation of a Large-scale Anisotropy in the Arrival Directions of Cosmic Rays above eV
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +404
Cosmic rays are atomic nuclei arriving from outer space that reach the highest energies observed in nature. Clues to their origin come from studying the distribution of their arriv…
Exploring Potential Signatures of QGP in UHECR Ground Profiles
Danielle LaHurd, Corbin E. Covault
In this work we explore the possibility that the formation of Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) during the first interactions of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECRs) may result in observa…
