Design and Performance of the first IceAct Demonstrator at the South Pole
M. G. Aartsen, M. Ackermann, J. Adams +393
In this paper we describe the first results of a compact imaging air-Cherenkov telescope, IceAct, operating in coincidence with the IceCube Neutrino Observatory (IceCube) at the ge…
Observation of inclined EeV air showers with the radio detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +392
With the Auger Engineering Radio Array (AERA) of the Pierre Auger Observatory, we have observed the radio emission from 561 extensive air showers with zenith angles between 60$^\ci…
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…
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…
The Pierre Auger Observatory Upgrade - Preliminary Design Report
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +462
The Pierre Auger Observatory has begun a major Upgrade of its already impressive capabilities, with an emphasis on improved mass composition determination using the surface detecto…
Design study of an air-Cherenkov telescope for harsh environments with efficient air-shower detection at 100 TeV
Jan Auffenberg, Thomas Bretz, Lukas Middendorf +6
Telescopes, designed with semi-conductor based photo sensors, have the potential to detect Cherenkov or fluorescence light emitted by cosmic-rays in the atmosphere. Such telescopes…
Status of the Silicon Photomultiplier Telescope FAMOUS for the Fluorescence Detection of UHECRs
Tim Niggemann, Pedro Assis, Pedro Brogueira +13
An established technique for the measurement of ultra-high-energy-cosmic-rays is the detection of the fluorescence light induced in the atmosphere of the Earth, by means of telesco…
