A Double Layered Water Cherenkov Detector Array for Gamma-Ray Astronomy
Samridha Kunwar, Hazal Goksu, Jim Hinton +4
Ground-level particle detection is now a well-established approach to TeV gamma-ray astronomy. Detection of Cherenkov light produced in water-filled detection units is a proven and…
Science verification of the new FlashCam-based camera in the 28m telescope of H.E.S.S
Gerd Pühlhofer, Konrad Bernlöhr, Baiyang Bi +13
In October 2019 the central 28m telescope of the H.E.S.S. experiment has been upgraded with a new camera. The camera is based on the FlashCam design which has been developed in vie…
TeV emission of Galactic plane sources with HAWC and H.E.S.S
H. Abdalla, F. Aharonian, F. Ait Benkhali +318
The High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) observatory and the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) are two leading instruments in the ground-based very-high-energy gamma-ray d…
Trigger performance verification of the FlashCam prototype camera
S. Sailer, F. Werner, G. Hermann +33
FlashCam is a camera proposed for the medium-sized telescopes of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). We compare camera trigger rates obtained from measurements with the camera pro…
Performance Verification of the FlashCam Prototype Camera for the Cherenkov Telescope Array
F. Werner, C. Bauer, S. Bernhard +32
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is a future gamma-ray observatory that is planned to significantly improve upon the sensitivity and precision of the current generation of Chere…
The Pierre Auger Observatory Upgrade - Preliminary Design Report
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +462
The Pierre Auger Observatory has begun a major Upgrade of its already impressive capabilities, with an emphasis on improved mass composition determination using the surface detecto…
FlashCam: a fully-digital camera for the medium-sized telescopes of the Cherenkov Telescope Array
G. Pühlhofer, C. Bauer, S. Bernhard +31
The FlashCam group is currently preparing photomultiplier-tube based cameras proposed for the medium-sized telescopes (MST) of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). The cameras are…
First Experimental Characterization of Microwave Emission from Cosmic Ray Air Showers
R. Smida, F. Werner, R. Engel +55
We report the first direct measurement of the overall characteristics of microwave radio emission from extensive air showers. Using a trigger provided by the KASCADE-Grande air sho…
Origin of atmospheric aerosols at the Pierre Auger Observatory using studies of air mass trajectories in South America
Pierre Auger Collaboration, Gabriele Curci
The Pierre Auger Observatory is making significant contributions towards understanding the nature and origin of ultra-high energy cosmic rays. One of its main challenges is the mon…
Observation of Polarised Microwave Emission from Cosmic Ray Air Showers
R. Smida, F. Werner, R. Engel +55
We report on the first direct measurement of the basic features of microwave radio emission from extensive air showers. Using a trigger provided by the KASCADE-Grande air shower ar…
Antennas for the Detection of Radio Emission Pulses from Cosmic-Ray induced Air Showers at the Pierre Auger Observatory
P. Abreu, M. Aglietta, M. Ahlers +512
The Pierre Auger Observatory is exploring the potential of the radio detection technique to study extensive air showers induced by ultra-high energy cosmic rays. The Auger Engineer…
The Rapid Atmospheric Monitoring System of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, P. Abreu, M. Aglietta +508
The Pierre Auger Observatory is a facility built to detect air showers produced by cosmic rays above 10^17 eV. During clear nights with a low illuminated moon fraction, the UV fluo…
