Measuring the muon content of inclined air showers using AERA and the water-Cherenkov detectors of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Abdul Halim, P. Abreu +360
We present a novel approach for assessing the muon content of air showers with large zenith angles on a combined analysis of their radio emission and particle footprint. We use the…
Search for a diffuse flux of photons with energies above tens of PeV at the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Abdul Halim, P. Abreu +359
Diffuse photons of energy above 0.1 PeV, produced through the interactions between cosmic rays and either interstellar matter or background radiation fields, are powerful tracers o…
Radio Measurements of the Depth of Air-Shower Maximum at the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Abdul Halim, P. Abreu +372
The Auger Engineering Radio Array (AERA), part of the Pierre Auger Observatory, is currently the largest array of radio antenna stations deployed for the detection of cosmic rays,…
Demonstrating Agreement between Radio and Fluorescence Measurements of the Depth of Maximum of Extensive Air Showers at the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Abdul Halim, P. Abreu +372
We show, for the first time, radio measurements of the depth of shower maximum () of air showers induced by cosmic rays that are compared to measurements of the estab…
Scaler data from the Pierre Auger Observatory as a proxy of solar activity
C. Taricco, I. Bizzarri, C. Dionese +1
Solar activity variations strongly impact the modulation of the flux of low-energy Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCRs) reaching the Earth. The secondary particles, which originate from the…
Detection of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays in the southern hemisphere with FAST: data acquisition and preliminary results
Jakub Kmec, Petr Boril, Fraser Bradfield +29
Ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) remain one of the greatest mysteries in astroparticle physics. The Fluorescence detector Array of Single-pixel Telescopes (FAST) is a next-ge…
