Deep Learning Based Event Reconstruction for the IceCube-Gen2 Radio Detector

Nils Heyer, Christian Glaser, Thorsten Glüsenkamp

The planned in-ice radio array of IceCube-Gen2 at the South Pole will provide unprecedented sensitivity to ultra-high-energy (UHE) neutrinos in the EeV range. The ability of the de…

Cosmological implications of photon-flux upper limits at ultra-high energies in scenarios of Planckian-interacting massive particles for dark matter

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, P. Abreu, M. Aglietta +374

Using the data of the Pierre Auger Observatory, we report on a search for signatures that would be suggestive of super-heavy particles decaying in the Galactic halo. From the lack…

Investigating Hadronic Interactions at Ultra-High Energies with the Pierre Auger Observatory

Isabel Goos, :, P. Abreu +374

The development of an extensive air shower depends not only on the nature of the primary ultra-high-energy cosmic ray but also on the properties of the hadronic interactions. For e…

Simulation and background characterisation of the SABRE South experiment

E. Barberio, T. Baroncelli, L. J. Bignell +38

SABRE (Sodium iodide with Active Background REjection) is a direct detection dark matter experiment based on arrays of radio-pure NaI(Tl) crystals. The experiment aims at achieving…

Limits to gauge coupling in the dark sector set by the non-observation of instanton-induced decay of Super-Heavy Dark Matter in the Pierre Auger Observatory data

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, P. Abreu, M. Aglietta +374

Instantons, which are non-perturbative solutions to Yang-Mills equations, provide a signal for the occurrence of quantum tunneling between distinct classes of vacua. They can give…

Testing effects of Lorentz invariance violation in the propagation of astroparticles with the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, P. Abreu, M. Aglietta +374

Lorentz invariance violation (LIV) is often described by dispersion relations of the form with delta different based on particle type , with…

Reconstruction of Events Recorded with the Surface Detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +378

Cosmic rays arriving at Earth collide with the upper parts of the atmosphere, thereby inducing extensive air showers. When secondary particles from the cascade arrive at the ground…

Studies on the response of a water-Cherenkov detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory to atmospheric muons using an RPC hodoscope

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +375

Extensive air showers, originating from ultra-high energy cosmic rays, have been successfully measured through the use of arrays of water-Cherenkov detectors (WCDs). Sophisticated…
