Search for ultrarelativistic magnetic monopoles with the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +411

We present a search for ultra-relativistic magnetic monopoles with the Pierre Auger Observatory. Such particles, possibly a relic of phase transitions in the early universe, would…

Evidence for a mixed mass composition at the `ankle' in the cosmic-ray spectrum

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +423

We report a first measurement for ultra-high energy cosmic rays of the correlation between the depth of shower maximum and the signal in the water Cherenkov stations of air-showers…

Nanosecond-level time synchronization of autonomous radio detector stations for extensive air showers

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +448

To exploit the full potential of radio measurements of cosmic-ray air showers at MHz frequencies, a detector timing synchronization within 1 ns is needed. Large distributed radio d…

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…
