The impact of the magnetic horizon on the interpretation of the spectrum and composition data
Scientific Highlights
One intriguing aspect of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics is the absence of right-handed degrees of freedom to describe neutrinos ...
Testing hadronic interaction models using hybrid data of the Pierre Auger Observatory
An unusual collaboration leads to spectacular results.
This is still an open question in astroparticle physics and a long-standing mystery that the Pierre Auger Observatory aims to solve.
Understanding the origin and nature of ultra-high energy cosmic rays has been one of the driving forces of the field of astroparticle physics. A key piece of information is what type of particles cosmic rays consist of.
