The Pierre Auger Observatory is the new generation facility for the ultra-high free energy cosmic rays (UHECR, ≥ 1017 eV) studies. The projection aims at large aperture (> 7000 km2sr higher up 1019 eV) hybrid detection (combining air fluorescence and ground particle techniques) of the highest energy cosmic rays with the total-sky exposure (with 1 site per hemisphere). The Southern Auger Observatory in Argentina is nearing its completion. Get-go results on the UHECR anisotropies search, and on the energy spectrum are discussed. 1

The use of different available models of the large-calibration GMF and/or primary particle assumptions leads to distinctly different deflection patterns of the highest free energy cosmic rays (CR). The lensing effects of the Galactic field modify the exposure of an UHECR experiment to the extragalactic sky. To quantify these effects for the Pierre Auger experiment, we performed a correlation analysis of the imitation catholic ray event samples, backtracked from the Earth to the Galactic border, with the active galactic nuclei (AGN) from the 12th edition of the Véron-Cetty and Véron catalogue. Further forward-tracking studies under plausible UHECR sources scenarios are needed to allow for direct comparing with the observed correlation between the nearby AGN and the highest energy Auger events.

The use of different available models of the big-scale GMF and/or primary particle assumptions leads to distinctly unlike deflection patterns of the highest energy cosmic rays (CR).

To quantify these effects for the Pierre Auger experiment, we performed a correlation analysis of the imitation cosmic ray event samples, backtracked from the Globe to the Galactic border, with the agile galactic nuclei (AGN) from the 12th edition of the V\'eron-Cetty and V\'eron catalogue. Farther forward-tracking studies under plausible UHECR sources scenarios are needed to allow for direct comparison with the observed correlation between the nearby AGN and the highest free energy Auger events.

The Auger hybrid detector combines fluorescence observations of the longitudinal profiles of extended air showers, initiated past these extremely energetic particles, with measures of the shower secondaries at the basis level by its large array of Cherenkov water tanks. The complementariness of the 2 techniques provides important cross-checks at the energies unreachable with accelerator experiments. The Pierre Auger experiment has observed a strong steepening of the cosmic ray flux to a higher place 40 EeV. A significant anisotropy in the arrival directions of cosmic rays has been established for events above $\simeq threescore$ EeV. These events correlate over athwart scales of less than 6$^\circ$ with the directions towards nearby ($D < 100$ Mpc) active galactic north...

The Auger hybrid detector combines fluorescence observations of extended air showers, initiated in the atmosphere by these most energetic particles, with measures of the shower front at the ground level past its large array of Cherenkov water tanks. This allows to meliorate considerably the precision on reconstructed chief cosmic ray parameters, and to make of import cross-calibrations between two techniques at these energies, unreachable with accelerator experiments. The Southern Auger site in Argentine republic is close to completion. The first mensurate of the primary catholic rays energy spectrum, the anisotropy search results, and the limit on the photon fraction in the UHECR are discussed.

In the past, these telescopes were absolutely calibrated past illuminating the whole aperture with a compatible large-diameter light source. This absolute calibration was performed roughly once every 3 years, while a relative calibration was performed on a nightly basis. In this contribution, a new technique for an absolute terminate-to-finish calibration of the fluorescence telescopes is presented. For this technique, a portable, calibrated light source mounted on a rail organization is moved across the aperture of each telescope instead of illuminating the whole aperture at one time. A dedicated setup using a combination of NIST traceable photodiodes to measure the hateful intensity and a PMT for pulse-to-pulse stability tracking has been built for the absolute calibration of the light source. Every bit a result of these complementary measurements, the pu...

Their much higher number density — up to a gene v times more than numerous than FR-1 with z ≤ 0.05 — makes them expert candidate sources for an isotropic contribution to the observed UHECR flux. Here, the dispatch and survival of UHECR in prevailing conditions of the FR-0 environment are discussed. First, an boilerplate spectral energy distribution (SED) is compiled based on the FR0CAT. These photon fields, composed of a jet and a host galaxy component, class a minimal target photon field for the UHECR, which volition suffer from electromagnetic pair production, photo-disintegration, photo-meson production losses, and synchrotron radiation. The two about promising acceleration scenarios based on Fermi-I order and gradual shear acceleration are discussed equally well as different escape scenarios. When an efficient accelera...

We study here on searches through Auger data from ane January 2004 until xx June 2013. No neutrino candidates were institute, yielding a limit to the lengthened flux of ultrahigh energy neutrinos that challenges the Waxman-Bahcall bound predictions. Neutrino identification is attempted using the broad fourth dimension structure of the signals expected in the SD stations, and is efficiently done for neutrinos of all flavors interacting in the atmosphere at big zenith angles, equally well as for "Earth-skimming" neutrino interactions in the case of tau neutrinos. In this paper the searches for down-going neutrinos in the zenith angle bins lx°-75°and 75°-90°as well as for upward-going neutrinos, are combined to give a single limit.

These observations are compared to the data of the surface detector stations of the Observatory, which provide well-calibrated information on the cosmic-ray energies and arrival directions. The response of the radio stations in the 30 to 80 MHz regime has been thoroughly calibrated to enable the reconstruction of the incoming electric field. For the latter, the energy density is determined from the radio pulses at each observer position and is interpolated using a two dimensional function that takes into account signal asymmetries due to interference betwixt the geomagnetic and charge excess emission components. The spatial integral over the betoken distribution gives a direct measurement of the energy transferred from the principal catholic ray into radio emission in the AERA frequency range. We measure 15.8 MeV of radiation energy for a ane ...

Upward-going air showers are a possible interpretation of the contempo events reported by the ANITA Collaboration in the energy range in a higher place 1017 eV. The Pierre Auger FD information can be used to support or constrain this interpretation. If confirmed, it would require either new phenomena or meaning modifications to the standard model of particle physics. To prepare this search, a set of quality pick criteria was divers past using ten% of the available FD data from 14 years of operation. This subset was mainly used to make clean the data from improperly labelled laser events that had been used to monitor the quality of the atmosphere. The potential background for this search consists of cosmic-ray induced air showers with specific geometric configurations which, in a monocular reconstruction, can...

Peculiarly, events have been detected with the surface detector, characterized by long-lasting signals (tens of microseconds) and effect footprints much larger (up to 200 km2) than those produced by the highest free energy cosmic rays. Moreover, some of them appear to be accompanied by smaller events occurring in the same area within about 1ms and probably produced by the same phenomenon. A previously reported correlation with the World Wide Lightning Location Network, also as the observation of very low-altitude clouds, ostend that such events are related to thunderstorms.
