Results from recent analysis of KASCADE-Grande data

D. Kang, J. C. Arteaga-Velázquez, M. Bertaina +22

KASCADE and its extension array of KASCADE-Grande were devoted to measure individual air showers of cosmic rays in the primary energy range of 100 TeV to 1 EeV. The experiment has…

Depth of Maximum of Air-Shower Profiles at the Pierre Auger Observatory: Composition Implications

Pierre Auger Collaboration

Using the data taken at the Pierre Auger Observatory between December 2004 and December 2012, we have examined the implications of the distributions of depths of atmospheric shower…

The spectrum of high-energy cosmic rays measured with KASCADE-Grande

Grande Collaboration, W. D. Apel, J. C. Arteaga-Velazquez +58

The energy spectrum of cosmic rays between 10**16 eV and 10**18 eV, derived from measurements of the shower size (total number of charged particles) and the total muon number of ex…

Search for signatures of magnetically-induced alignment in the arrival directions measured by the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, P. Abreu, M. Aglietta +496

We present the results of an analysis of data recorded at the Pierre Auger Observatory in which we search for groups of directionally-aligned events (or `multiplets') which exhibit…

Active Galactic Nuclei with Starbursts: Sources for Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays

P. L. Biermann, J. K. Becker, L. Caramete +5

Ultra high energy cosmic ray events presently show a spectrum, which we interpret here as galactic cosmic rays due to a starburst in the radio galaxy Cen A pushed up in energy by t…
