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 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…

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…

Trigger and Aperture of the Surface Detector Array of the Pierre Auger Observatory

J. Abraham, P. Abreu, M. Aglietta +469

The surface detector array of the Pierre Auger Observatory consists of 1600 water-Cherenkov detectors, for the study of extensive air showers (EAS) generated by ultra-high-energy c…

Search for signatures of magnetically-induced alignment in the arrival directions measured by the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, P. Abreu, M. Aglietta +496

We present the results of an analysis of data recorded at the Pierre Auger Observatory in which we search for groups of directionally-aligned events (or `multiplets') which exhibit…
