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…
Prototype muon detectors for the AMIGA component of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +451
Auger Muons and Infill for the Ground Array) is an upgrade of the Pierre Auger Observatory to extend its range of detection and to directly measure the muon content of the particle…
Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays
M. T. Dova
The origin of the ultra high energy cosmic rays (UHECR) with energies above E > 1017eV, is still unknown. The discovery of their sources will reveal the engines of the most energet…
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…
Azimuthal asymmetry in the risetime of the surface detector signals of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +436
The azimuthal asymmetry in the risetime of signals in Auger surface detector stations is a source of information on shower development. The azimuthal asymmetry is due to a combinat…
