A compact and light-weight refractive telescope for the observation of extensive air showers

T. Bretz, T. Hebbeker, J. Kemp +7

A general purpose instrument for imaging of Cherenkov light or fluorescence light emitted by extensive air showers is presented. Its refractive optics allows for a compact and ligh…

Indication of anisotropy in arrival directions of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays through comparison to the flux pattern of extragalactic gamma-ray sources

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +390

A new analysis of the dataset from the Pierre Auger Observatory provides evidence for anisotropy in the arrival directions of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays on an intermediate angul…

Inferences on Mass Composition and Tests of Hadronic Interactions from 0.3 to 100 EeV using the water-Cherenkov Detectors of the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +403

We present a new method for probing the hadronic interaction models at ultra-high energy and extracting details about mass composition. This is done using the time profiles of the…

Spectral Calibration of the Fluorescence Telescopes of the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +403

We present a novel method to measure precisely the relative spectral response of the fluorescence telescopes of the Pierre Auger Observatory. We used a portable light source based…

Observation of a Large-scale Anisotropy in the Arrival Directions of Cosmic Rays above eV

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +404

Cosmic rays are atomic nuclei arriving from outer space that reach the highest energies observed in nature. Clues to their origin come from studying the distribution of their arriv…

Measurement of the Radiation Energy in the Radio Signal of Extensive Air Showers as a Universal Estimator of Cosmic-Ray Energy

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, Alexander Aab, Pedro Abreu +447

We measure the energy emitted by extensive air showers in the form of radio emission in the frequency range from 30 to 80 MHz. Exploiting the accurate energy scale of the Pierre Au…
