The Pierre Auger Observatory is the result of an international effort of 17 countries, designed and built to study ultra high energy cosmic rays. Its main goal is to study cosmic rays of the highest energy observed so far, in the region of 1018 eV and above. These cosmic rays are the most energetic particles observed in nature up today. Experimental data obtained in the Observatory allow …
The atmospheric showers produced by cosmic rays with energies above 10 EeV are detected in the Pierre Auger Observatory using two different type of detectors. With these measurements, the energy, the direction and possibly the composition of the primary particle can be inferred. However, the quantity of secondary particles detected by the surface detectors far from the shower core fluctua…
This visit is dedicated to fulfill the shift assignments for MINOS at Fermilab, from Dec. 10 through 16. The days before the shifts are for training. Time not spent on shift will be used for data analysis activities and discussing nitrogen fluorescence yield measurements that were done at Fermilab and are planned to be realized at USP in 2011 at lower energies.
