In a recent publication, the Pierre Auger Collaboration has presented the design, implementation and applications of the “FRAM” robotic telescope used for atmospheric calibration at the Pierre Auger Observatory.
Scientific Highlights
First measurement of the fluctuations in the number of muons in air showers at ultra-high energies.
Enhanced measurements of muons in air showers will allow improved estimations of the chemical composition of cosmic rays at the Pierre Auger Observatory.
In a recent publication, the Pierre Auger Collaboration has presented the design and performance tests of the new front-end with silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) for the AMIGA detectors.
Results of a search of ultra-high energy neutrinos with the Pierre Auger Observatory from the powerful blazar TXS0506+056 at a redshift of 0.34 have been recently presented in a Journal article. The implications of the non-observation of neutrinos are compared to results obtained with the IceCube neutrino detector for three different search periods.
Recently, the Pierre Auger Collaboration has presented the most precise measurement of the cosmic-ray (CR) energy spectrum at ultra-high energies using the events recorded over more than 14 years by the surface detector (SD).
