Testing Hadronic Interactions at Ultrahigh Energies with Air Showers Measured by the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +435

Ultrahigh energy cosmic ray air showers probe particle physics at energies beyond the reach of accelerators. Here we introduce a new method to test hadronic interaction models with…

Ultrahigh-energy neutrino follow-up of Gravitational Wave events GW150914 and GW151226 with the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +410

On September 14, 2015 the Advanced LIGO detectors observed their first gravitational-wave (GW) transient GW150914. This was followed by a second GW event observed on December 26, 2…

Measurement of the ionization produced by sub-keV silicon nuclear recoils in a CCD dark matter detector

A. E. Chavarria, J. I. Collar, J. R. Peña +10

We report a measurement of the ionization efficiency of silicon nuclei recoiling with sub-keV kinetic energy in the bulk silicon of a charge-coupled device (CCD). Nuclear recoils a…

Search for low-mass WIMPs in a 0.6 kg day exposure of the DAMIC experiment at SNOLAB

A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. Amidei, X. Bertou +35

We present results of a dark matter search performed with a 0.6 kg day exposure of the DAMIC experiment at the SNOLAB underground laboratory. We measure the energy spectrum of ioni…

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…
