Aperture calculation of the Pierre Auger Observatory surface detector
D. Allard, I. Allekotte, E. Armengaud +11
We determine the instantaneous aperture and integrated exposure of the surface detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory, taking into account the trigger efficiency as a function of…
The trigger system of the Pierre Auger Surface Detector: operation, efficiency and stability
D. Allard, E. Armengaud, I. Allekotte +31
The trigger system of the Surface Detector (SD) of the Pierre Auger Observatory is described, from the identification of candidate showers ( EeV) at the level of a single stat…
Extragalactic cosmic-ray source composition and the interpretation of the ankle
D. Allard, E. Parizot, A. V. Olinto +2
We consider the stochastic propagation of high-energy protons and nuclei in the cosmological microwave and infrared backgrounds, using revised photonuclear cross-sections and follo…
Generalised 3D-reconstruction method of a dipole anisotropy in cosmic-ray distributions
J. Aublin, E. Parizot
We develop a method to study the anisotropy of a cosmic-ray angular distribution, using both the right ascension and the declination of the arrival directions. It generalises the f…
Indirect manifestation of GRBs in the Galaxy: Compton trails and positrons
Etienne Parizot
Two independent indirect manifestations of Galactic gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are considered, whose importance for gamma-ray astronomy will depend on a still poorly known -- though a…
Cosmic-rays: an unsolved mystery at all energies!
E. Parizot
We consider the phenomenology of cosmic-rays (CRs) and stress the interest of jointly studying their properties over the whole energy spectrum. While UHECRs are known to raise impo…
