The Pierre Auger Observatory: Results on Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays
Johannes Bluemer
The focus of this article is on recent results on ultra-high energy cosmic rays obtained with the Pierre Auger Observatory. The world's largest instrument of this type and its perf…
Amplitude calibration of a digital radio antenna array for measuring cosmic ray air showers
S. Nehls, A. Hakenjos, M. J. Arts +9
Radio pulses are emitted during the development of air showers, where air showers are generated by ultra-high energy cosmic rays entering the Earth's atmosphere. These nanosecond s…
Altitude dependence of fluorescence light emission by extensive air showers
B. Keilhauer, J. Bluemer, R. Engel +1
Fluorescence light is induced by extensive air showers while developing in the Earth's atmosphere. The number of emitted fluorescence photons depends on the conditions of the air a…
On the measurement of the proton-air cross section using cosmic ray data
Ralf Ulrich, Johannes Bluemer, Ralph Engel +2
Cosmic ray data may allow the determination of the proton-air cross section at ultra-high energy. For example, the distribution of the first interaction point in air showers reflec…
New p+C data in fixed target experiments and the muon component in extensive air showers
Christine Meurer, J. Bluemer, R. Engel +3
The interpretation of extensive air shower (EAS) measurements is strongly dependent on the hadronic interaction models used for simulating reference showers. We study the importanc…
Impact of a new Cherenkov light parameterisation on the reconstruction of shower profiles from Auger hybrid data
F. Nerling, J. Bluemer, R. Engel +1
The light signal measured by fluorescence telescopes receives - strongly depending on the shower geometry with respect to the detector - a non-negligible contribution from addition…
