Mass sensitive observables of the Pierre Auger Observatory

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
In this article we will discuss measurements of the longitudinal development of air showers at the Pierre Auger Observatory. The longitudinal development of the electromagnetic component can be directly observed by the fluorescence telescopes of the ...

The Pierre Auger Observatory: progress and first results [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The Pierre Auger Observatory was designed for a high statistics, full sky study of cosmic rays at the highest energies. Energy, direction and composition measurements are intended to illuminate the mysteries of the most energetic particles in nature. The

Highlights from the Pierre Auger Observatory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The Pierre Auger Observatory is the world's largest cosmic ray observatory. Our current exposure reaches nearly 40,000 km$^2$ str and provides us with an unprecedented quality data set. The performance and stability of the detectors and their enhancements are described. Data analyses have led to a number of major breakthroughs.

Anisotropy studies with the Pierre Auger Observatory

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
Recent results from the Pierre Auger Observatory about anisotropies in the arrival directions of ultra-high energy cosmic rays are reported. In the EeV energy range, we present the results of a search for a large scale dipolar anisotropy pattern.

The angular resolution of the Pierre Auger Observatory

open access: yes, 2008
We discuss the angular resolution obtained for events registered with the surface detector alone and for hybrid events, i.e., those observed simultaneously by both the surface and fluorescence detectors.
