Status of the Auger Engineering Array

چکیده
In order to test the design of the Pierre Auger Observatory, as well as different construction alternatives, a small subset of the full array is being built in Malargüe, Argentina, and will be put into operation this year. It will consist of 40 surface detectors, covering an area of 46 km, and 2 fluorescence telescopes with an angle of view of 30◦ x 30◦ each. We present a description of this engineering array and report on the advances achieved so far and on future prospects.

The Potentiodynamic Behavior of Copper in NaCI Solutions Studied by Auger and Photoelectron Spectroscopy
The potentiodynamic behaviour of copper in brine solutions was studies. Auger and photo-electron spectroscopy were used together with electrochemical methods. It is demostrated that the passivation observed in potentiodynamic curves is due to a surface film formation on a copper electrode. It is concluded that this film must be copper (I) chloride in nature. Effect of different factors on poten...
متن کاملRadio detection of cosmic rays at the southern Auger Observatory
An integrated approach has been developed to study radio signals induced by cosmic rays entering the Earth’s atmosphere. An engineering array will be co-located with the infill array of the Pierre Auger Observatory. Our R&D effort includes the physics processes leading to the development of radio signals, end-to-end simulations of realistic hardware configurations, and tests of various systems ...
متن کاملOptimization of Array Factor in Linear Arrays Using Modified Genetic Algorithm
The array factor (sidelobe level, SLL) of a linear array is optimized using modified continuous genetic algorithms in this work. The amplitudes and phases of the currents as well as the separation of the antennas are all taken as variables to be controlled. The results of the design using modified GA versions are compared with other methods. Two design problems were studied using several contin...

The southern Pierre Auger Observatory is presently under construction in Malargüe, Mendoza, Argentina. It combines two complementary air shower observation techniques; the detection of particles at ground and the observation of associated fluorescence light generated in the atmosphere above the ground. Experimentally, this is being realised by employing an array of 1600 water Cherenkov detector...
متن کاملRadio detection of high - energy cosmic rays at the Pierre Auger Obser - vatory
The southern Auger Observatory provides an excellent test bed to study the radio detection of extensive air showers as an alternative, cost-effective, and accurate tool for cosmic-ray physics. The data from the radio setup can be correlated with those from the wellcalibrated baseline detectors of the Pierre Auger Observatory. Furthermore, human-induced radio noise levels at the southern Auger s...
