Update on testing of air-shower modelling using combined data of the Pierre Auger Observatory and phenomenological consequences

Jakub Vícha

The combined data of Fluorescence and Surface Detectors of the Pierre Auger Observatory has recently provided the strongest constraints on the validity of predictions from current…

Arrival Directions of Cosmic Rays above 32 EeV from Phase One of the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, P. Abreu, M. Aglietta +372

A promising energy range to look for angular correlation between cosmic rays of extragalactic origin and their sources is at the highest energies, above few tens of EeV ($1\:{\rm E…

The UHECR dipole and quadrupole in the latest data from the original Auger and TA surface detectors

Peter Tinyakov, Luis Anchordoqui, Teresa Bister +13

The sources of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays are still unknown, but assuming standard physics, they are expected to lie within a few hundred megaparsecs from us. Indeed, over cosmo…

UHECR arrival directions in the latest data from the original Auger and TA surface detectors and nearby galaxies

Armando di Matteo, Luis Anchordoqui, Teresa Bister +13

The distribution of ultra-high-energy cosmic-ray arrival directions appears to be nearly isotropic except for a dipole moment of order per cent. None…

Combined fit of spectrum and composition data as measured by the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +397

We present a combined fit of a simple astrophysical model of UHECR sources to both the energy spectrum and mass composition data measured by the Pierre Auger Observatory. The fit h…

Probing the radio emission from air showers with polarization measurements

Pierre Auger Collaboration

The emission of radio waves from air showers has been attributed to the so-called geomagnetic emission process. At frequencies around 50 MHz this process leads to coherent radiatio…

The Lateral Trigger Probability function for the Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Ray Showers detected by the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, P. Abreu, M. Aglietta +495

In this paper we introduce the concept of Lateral Trigger Probability (LTP) function, i.e., the probability for an extensive air shower (EAS) to trigger an individual detector of a…
