Depth of Maximum of Air-Shower Profiles at the Pierre Auger Observatory: Composition Implications
Pierre Auger Collaboration
Using the data taken at the Pierre Auger Observatory between December 2004 and December 2012, we have examined the implications of the distributions of depths of atmospheric shower…
DAMIC at SNOLAB
Alvaro Chavarria, Javier Tiffenberg, Alexis Aguilar-Arevalo +19
We introduce the fully-depleted charge-coupled device (CCD) as a particle detector. We demonstrate its low energy threshold operation, capable of detecting ionizing energy depositi…
A search for point sources of EeV photons
Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +483
Measurements of air showers made using the hybrid technique developed with the fluorescence and surface detectors of the Pierre Auger Observatory allow a sensitive search for point…
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…
Solar System objects as cosmic rays detectors
Paolo Privitera, Pavel Motloch
In a recent Letter (Rimmer et al. 2014), Jupiter is presented as an efficient detector for Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECRs), through measurement by an Earth-orbiting satellit…
Planning the Future of U.S. Particle Physics (Snowmass 2013): Chapter 8: Instrumentation Frontier
M. Demarteau, R. Lipton, H. Nicholson +211
These reports present the results of the 2013 Community Summer Study of the APS Division of Particles and Fields ("Snowmass 2013") on the future program of particle physics in the…
