Search for ultra-high energy neutrons from Galactic sources with the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Abdul Halim, P. Abreu +357
Deflections in the propagation of charged ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) caused by magnetic fields make the identification of their sources challenging. On the other hand,…
Water Cherenkov Detectors in Precision Agriculture: A Novel Approach for High-Resolution Soil Moisture Monitoring
Christian Sarmiento-Cano, Jaime Betancour, Alejandro Núñez Selin +4
Water Cherenkov Detectors (WCDs), traditionally employed in cosmic-ray detection, are repurposed here for precision soil moisture monitoring using cosmic-ray neutron sensing. This…
Two-Stage Gamma-Neutron Source Classification in Water Cherenkov Detectors: Energy Threshold Screening and Machine Learning Pulse Analysis
Alejandro Núñez-Selin, Iván Sidelnik, Christian Sarmiento-Cano +2
Water Cherenkov detectors offer a robust and economical solution for real-time radiation monitoring by detecting Cherenkov light from charged particles moving faster than light in…
Driving Computational Efficiency in Large-Scale Platforms using HPC Technologies
Alexander Martinez Mendez, Antonio J. Rubio-Montero, Carlos J. Barrios H. +3
The Latin American Giant Observatory (LAGO) project utilizes extensive High-Performance Computing (HPC) resources for complex astroparticle physics simulations, making resource eff…
Long-term calibration and validation of stability of the Auger Engineering Radio Array using the diffuse Galactic radio emission
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Abdul Halim, P. Abreu +356
The Auger Engineering Radio Array (AERA) measures radio emission from high-energy extensive air showers. Consisting of 153 autonomous radio-detector stations spread over \,km$^…
Quasi-constant time gap in multiple rings of elves
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Abdul Halim, P. Abreu +359
We present evidence that the time delay between the multiple rings of elves is not caused by the ground reflection of the electromagnetic pulse produced by intracloud lightning. To…
