Properties of extensive air showers around 10(17) eV
2516 quality extensive air showers (EAS) were observed in coincidence using the HIRES nitrogen fluorescence detector and the CASA-MIA ground array within the energy range 10(16.7)-10(17.9) eV. Arrival direction, energy, location of muon content, and Xmax were determined for each event. A …

Study of the performances of the AMIGA muon detectors of the Pierre Auger Observatory
… measurement of the muonic component of the extensive air showers (EAS), and the possibility to study the transition between the galactic and the extragalactic component of high energy cosmic rays. The number of muons in extensive air showers reflects the composition of the primary cosmic …

Stabilizing energy reconstructions of the surface detector at the Pierre Auger Observatory
… measured through indirect measurements of the extensive air showers they induce. Accordingly, an energy reconstruction process must be undertaken. For the surface detector, the models utilized for energy reconstruction are empirical approximations of the true particle distribution and thus, …

Simulating the EUSO-SPB2 balloon flight train with Lagrangian mechanics
… rotates above/below the Earth's limb to observe extensive air showers and tau neutrinos backgrounds. Rotating the Cherenkov telescope induces motion in the gondola. If motion in the gondola exceeds the 0.1\degree resolution requirement, data may be affected. This thesis analyzes and simulates …

Design, Implementation and First Results of the ANITA-HiCal Experiment
… emission of in-ice and atmospheric particle showers initiated, respectively, by these two types of particles. Radio detection of ultra-high energy cosmic ray (UHECR) extensive air showers (EAS) above the Antarctic continent has been demonstrated by the four flights of the ANITA experiment. …

Extreme universe space observatory on a super pressure balloon II fluorescence telescope on the ground and (briefly) in the air, The
… ultra-high energy cosmic ray (UHECR) induced extensive air showers (EAS) via nitrogen fluorescence by observing a large volume of atmosphere from above. In the years prior to launch, the design of the FT was informed by extensive end-to-end simulations of EAS and the detector response to them. …

A hybrid analysis approach to the high energy stereoscopic system phase II mono-analysis
… Cherenkov light (CL) produced by particles in extensive air showers which are produced by incident high energy particles (gamma rays or cosmic rays) on the Earth's atmosphere. The array consists of four 107 m2 optical telescopes and a larger 614 m2 collective surface area telescope in the …

FROM DATA PRODUCTION TO SEARCH FOR GALACTIC COSMICRAY SOURCES WITH THE PIERRE AUGER OBSERVATORY
… elusive. These particles are detected through extensive air showers, cascades of secondary particles produced when UHECRs interact with the Earth's atmosphere. However, their low flux, less than one particle per square kilometer per century, makes detection extremely challenging. This PhD …

Targets of opportunity source catalog, prioritization, scheduler and related mechanics for the EUSO-SPB2 mission, The
… which can exit the Earth and decay to initiate extensive air showers (EASs). Below PeV energies, ground-based detectors such as IceCube and ANTARES have utilized km3-scale mediums to observe these EASs via their optical Cherenkov emissions. However, at higher energies, much of the sky becomes …
