Using power spectra to look for anisotropies in ultra-high energy cosmic ray distributions
The origins and compositions of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECR) remains a mystery to this day. The Pierre Auger Observatory (PAO) is being constructed now in the hopes that it will help solve this mystery by detecting more UHECR than any previous experiment. In this dissertation, I will …

Measurement of the ultra high energy cosmic ray flux from data of very inclined showers at the Pierre Auger Observatory
This work describes the derivation of the energy dependent flux of ultra-high energy cosmic rays from data of very inclined air showers observed with the Pierre Auger Observatory. The Pierre Auger Observatory measures extensive air showers initiated by interactions of ultra-high energy cosmic rays …

INVESTIGATING THE ORIGINS OF UHECRS USING THE PIERRE AUGER OBSERVATORY AND PALEO-DETECTORS
… region for investigating the origins of cosmic rays is the toe of the ultra-high energy cosmic ray (UHECR) spectrum, above ≈ 50 EeV. The potential for small magnetic deflections at these energies is coupled with the presence of flux suppression, which may be a sign of the sources’ maximum …

Design, Implementation and First Results of the ANITA-HiCal Experiment
… goal of the ANITA experiment is to detect UHE (Ultra-High Energy) neutrinos $(10^9$ to $10^{13}$ GeV) and cosmic rays through the RF (Radio-Frequency) emission of in-ice and atmospheric particle showers initiated, respectively, by these two types of particles. Radio detection of ultra-high …
