Precise measurement of the absolute fluorescence yield of the 337 nm band in atmospheric gases
AIRFLY Collaboration, M. Ave, M. Bohacova +29
A measurement of the absolute fluorescence yield of the 337 nm nitrogen band, relevant to ultra-high energy cosmic ray (UHECR) detectors, is reported. Two independent calibrations…
Search for Point-Like Sources of Ultra-High Energy Neutrinos at the Pierre Auger Observatory and Improved Limit on the Diffuse Flux of Tau Neutrinos
Pierre Auger Collaboration
The Surface Detector array of the Pierre Auger Observatory can detect neutrinos with energy between 10^17 eV and 10^20 eV from point-like sources across the sky south of +55 deg an…
Radar reflection off extensive air showers
J. Stasielak, S. Baur, M. Bertaina +24
We investigate the possibility of detecting extensive air showers by the radar technique. Considering a bistatic radar system and different shower geometries, we simulate reflectio…
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…
A search for low-mass WIMPs with EDELWEISS-II heat-and-ionization detectors
EDELWEISS Collaboration, E. Armengaud, C. Augier +52
We report on a search for low-energy (E < 20 keV) WIMP-induced nuclear recoils using data collected in 2009 - 2010 by EDELWEISS from four germanium detectors equipped with thermal…
