Search for clustering of ultra high energy cosmic rays from the Pierre Auger Observatory
We present the results of a search for clustering among the highest energy events detected by the surface detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory between 1 January 2004 and 31 August 2007. We analyse the autocorrelation function, in which the number of pairs with angular separation within an angle α is compared with the expectation from an isotropic distribution. Performing a scan in energy ab...
متن کاملUltra High Energy Cosmic Rays and the Auger Observatory
In this proceeding we present the construction status and the performances of the Pierre Auger Observatory together with the first results obtained with our initial 18 month of data. In particular, we discuss our search for anisotropy near the Galactic Center, our limit on the photon fraction at the highest energies and our first estimate of the cosmic ray spectrum above 3 EeV. All of the mater...
متن کاملSearch for patterns by combining cosmic-ray energy and arrival directions at the Pierre Auger Observatory
Energy-dependent patterns in the arrival directions of cosmic rays are searched for using data of the Pierre Auger Observatory. We investigate local regions around the highest-energy cosmic rays with [Formula: see text] eV by analyzing cosmic rays with energies above [Formula: see text] eV arriving within an angular separation of approximately 15[Formula: see text]. We characterize the energy d...
متن کاملStudies of Clustering in the Arrival Directions of Cosmic Rays Detected at the Pierre Auger Observatory above 10 Eev
If clustering of the arrival directions of ultra high energy cosmic rays is discovered, this would provide important information about their origin, composition, and the galactic and extragalactic magnetic fields. We present here the analysis of the autocorrelation function of the data from the Pierre Auger Observatory as a function of the angular scale and the energy threshold. We compare our ...
متن کاملStudies of the ultra-high energy cosmic ray composition at the Pierre Auger Observatory
The hybrid Pierre Auger Observatory, consisting of fluorescence detector with 24 telescopes and of surface detector with more than 1600 water Cherenkov stations, has been collecting high quality data since January 2004. In this contribution we present namely current results of studies of ultra-high energy cosmic ray composition and related results concerning the energy spectrum of these particl...
