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…
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 typical mass ratio and typical final spin in supermassive black hole mergers
László Á. Gergely, Peter L. Biermann
We prove that merging supermassive black holes (SMBHs) typically have neither equal masses, nor is their mass ratio too extreme. The majority of such mergers fall into the mass rat…
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…
Active Galactic Nuclei Jets and Multiple Oblique Shock Acceleration: Starved Spectra
Athina Meli, Peter L. Biermann
Shocks in jets and hot spots of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are one prominent class of possible sources of very high energy cosmic ray particles (above 10^18eV). Extrapolating the…
Cosmic ray transport and anisotropies
P. L. Biermann, J. K. Becker, E. -S. Seo +1
We show that the large-scale cosmic ray anisotropy at ~10 TeV can be explained by a modified Compton-Getting effect in the magnetized flow field of old supernova remnants. This app…
A graviton statistics approach to dark energy, inflation and black holes
Peter L. Biermann, Benjamin C. Harms
We derive two new equations of quantum gravity and combine them with reinterpretations of previously proposed concepts of dark energy, inflation and black holes into a theory which…
The JEM-EUSO Mission: Status and Prospects in 2011
EUSO Collaboration, J. H. Adams, S. Ahmad +256
Contributions of the JEM-EUSO Collaboration to the 32nd International Cosmic Ray Conference, Beijing, August, 2011.
Spectrum and ionization rate of low energy Galactic cosmic rays
Biman B. Nath, Nayantara Gupta, Peter L. Biermann
We consider the rate of ionization of diffuse and molecular clouds in the interstellar medium by Galactic cosmic rays (GCR) in order to constrain its low energy spectrum. We extrap…
Experimental evidence for the sensitivity of the air-shower radio signal to the longitudinal shower development
W. D. Apel, J. C. Arteaga, L. Bähren +56
We observe a correlation between the slope of radio lateral distributions, and the mean muon pseudorapidity of 59 individual cosmic-ray-air-shower events. The radio lateral distrib…
A search for ultra-high energy neutrinos in highly inclined events at the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, P. Abreu, M. Aglietta +497
The Surface Detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory is sensitive to neutrinos of all flavours above 0.1 EeV. These interact through charged and neutral currents in the atmosphere…
Description of Atmospheric Conditions at the Pierre Auger Observatory using the Global Data Assimilation System (GDAS)
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, P. Abreu, M. Aglietta +499
Atmospheric conditions at the site of a cosmic ray observatory must be known for reconstructing observed extensive air showers. The Global Data Assimilation System (GDAS) is a glob…
