Search for photons above 10^18 eV with the hybrid detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory


The Pierre Auger Collaboration has searched for the possible presence of photons with energies exceeding 1018 eV in the flux of cosmic rays arriving at Earth.

Search for photon point sources at the Pierre Auger Observatory

One of the most pressing mysteries in astroparticle physics is the composition and origin of cosmic rays at energies around 1 EeV = 1018 eV.

Impact of atmospheric effects on the energy reconstruction of air showers observed by the surface detectors of the Pierre Auger Observatory

When an ultrahigh-energy cosmic ray impacts the Earth’s atmosphere, it can generate an enormous cascade of billions of energetic particles capable of reaching the ground.

A Search for Ultrahigh-Energy Neutrinos in Auger data in Coincidence with Gravitational Waves

100 years after their prediction by Albert Einstein, Gravitational Waves (GW) were detected in 2015 by the LIGO detectors.

Evidence for a mixed mass composition at the 'ankle' in the cosmic ray spectrum

The highest energy cosmic rays remain elusive and mysterious, and their study requires extraordinary efforts.

Cosmic-Ray Showers Reveal Muon Mystery

The Pierre Auger Observatory has detected more muons from cosmic-ray showers than predicted by the most up-to-date particle-physics models.
