Measurement of the Muon Production Depths at the Pierre Auger Observatory
Laura Collica
The muon content of extensive air showers is an observable sensitive to the primary composition and to the hadronic interaction properties. The Pierre Auger Observatory uses water-…
Searches for Anisotropies in the Arrival Directions of the Highest Energy Cosmic Rays Detected by the Pierre Auger Observatory
Pierre Auger Collaboration
We analyze the distribution of arrival directions of ultra-high energy cosmic rays recorded at the Pierre Auger Observatory in 10 years of operation. The data set, about three time…
Depth of Maximum of Air-Shower Profiles at the Pierre Auger Observatory: Measurements at Energies above 10^17.8 eV
Pierre Auger Collaboration
We report a study of the distributions of the depth of maximum, Xmax, of extensive air-shower profiles with energies above 10^17.8 eV as observed with the fluorescence telescopes o…
Muons in air showers at the Pierre Auger Observatory: Mean number in highly inclined events
Pierre Auger Collaboration
We present the first hybrid measurement of the average muon number in air showers at ultra-high energies, initiated by cosmic rays with zenith angles between and $80^\ci…
Probing the radio emission from air showers with polarization measurements
Pierre Auger Collaboration
The emission of radio waves from air showers has been attributed to the so-called geomagnetic emission process. At frequencies around 50 MHz this process leads to coherent radiatio…
Constraints on the origin of cosmic rays above eV from large scale anisotropy searches in data of the Pierre Auger Observatory
Pierre Auger Collaboration
A thorough search for large scale anisotropies in the distribution of arrival directions of cosmic rays detected above eV at the Pierre Auger Observatory is reported. For…
Large scale distribution of arrival directions of cosmic rays detected above eV at the Pierre Auger Observatory
Pierre Auger Collaboration
A thorough search for large scale anisotropies in the distribution of arrival directions of cosmic rays detected above eV at the Pierre Auger Observatory is presented. Th…
