چکیده
Motivated by the ANITA report of pulses compatible with upward-going extensive air showers, we present a recent search for such showers using Pierre Auger Observatory. The dataset, registered fluorescence detector Observatory, is scanned to identify ascending from ground. Consistent exit angles reported first and third flights, focus on shower geometries that are incompatible Standard Model interactions neutrinos in Earth. We effective area Observatory generic as function energy altitude. This can be used constrain predictions based physics beyond upgoing-shower interpretation results. To demonstrate method, calculate limits production rate tau leptons near ground emerging under range angles.

Anisotropy Studies with the Pierre Auger Observatory
An anisotropy signal for the arrival directions of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECR) of more than 99% confidence level was established using data collected by the Pierre Auger Observatory. Cosmic rays with energy above ∼ 6 × 10 eV show a correlation with the positions of extragalactic nearby active galactic nuclei (AGN), being maximum for sources at less than ∼100 Mpc and angular separation...
متن کاملSimulation of up- and down-going neutrino induced showers at the site of the Pierre Auger Observatory
We present a study about the possibility to detect neutrino induced extensive air showers at the Pierre Auger Observatory. The Monte Carlo simulations performed take into account the details of the neutrino propagation inside the Earth, the air as well as the surrounding mountains which are modelled by a digital elevation map. Details on the sensitivity with respect to the incoming direction as...
متن کاملMeasurements of the Muon Content of UHECR Air Showers with the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Observatory, recently completed, has been operational since 2004. As a hybrid experiment, it allows for a wide range of measurements of UHECR-induced extensive air showers (EAS), including measurements of the EAS particle content on ground which is sensitive to high-energy hadronic interactions. We present the results of several independent measurements of the EAS muon content ...
متن کاملMeasurement of the Lateral Distribution Function of UHECR Air Showers with the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Observatory [1] is being used to study cosmic rays with energies larger than 10 eV with unprecedented precision and statistics. An essential quantity that must be deduced from data is the lateral distribution function (LDF) that describes the decreasing of the signals in the watertanks as a function of distance. Knowledge of the LDF is important for the reconstruction of the sh...
متن کاملPierre Auger Observatory: Status Report
The Pierre Auger Observatory is a large international effort to provide measurements of extensive air showers (EAS) initiated in the upper atmosphere by cosmic rays with energies above 10 eV , the Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR’s). The explanations for the origin, acceleration processes and composition of the UHECR’s face theoretical and experimental difficulties, due to the extremely low...
