A targeted search for point sources of EeV photons with the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +397

Simultaneous measurements of air showers with the fluorescence and surface detectors of the Pierre Auger Observatory allow a sensitive search for EeV photon point sources. Several…

Testing Hadronic Interactions at Ultrahigh Energies with Air Showers Measured by the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +435

Ultrahigh energy cosmic ray air showers probe particle physics at energies beyond the reach of accelerators. Here we introduce a new method to test hadronic interaction models with…

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…

Ultrahigh-energy neutrino follow-up of Gravitational Wave events GW150914 and GW151226 with the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +410

On September 14, 2015 the Advanced LIGO detectors observed their first gravitational-wave (GW) transient GW150914. This was followed by a second GW event observed on December 26, 2…

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…
