Observation of a Large-scale Anisotropy in the Arrival Directions of Cosmic Rays above eV
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +404
Cosmic rays are atomic nuclei arriving from outer space that reach the highest energies observed in nature. Clues to their origin come from studying the distribution of their arriv…
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…
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…
Origin of atmospheric aerosols at the Pierre Auger Observatory using studies of air mass trajectories in South America
Pierre Auger Collaboration, Gabriele Curci
The Pierre Auger Observatory is making significant contributions towards understanding the nature and origin of ultra-high energy cosmic rays. One of its main challenges is the mon…
Bounds on the density of sources of ultra-high energy cosmic rays from the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration
We derive lower bounds on the density of sources of ultra-high energy cosmic rays from the lack of significant clustering in the arrival directions of the highest energy events det…
Interpretation of the Depths of Maximum of Extensive Air Showers Measured by the Pierre Auger Observatory
Pierre Auger Collaboration
To interpret the mean depth of cosmic ray air shower maximum and its dispersion, we parametrize those two observables as functions of the first two moments of the distribut…
