The air fluorescence detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory is designed to perform calorimetric measurements of extensive air showers created by cosmic rays of above 10^18 eV. To correct these measurements for the effects introduced by atmospheri...
Measurements of air showers are accumulating at an increasing rate while construction proceeds at the Pierre Auger Observatory. Although the southern site is only half complete, the cumulative exposure is already similar to those achieved by the la...
The Pierre Auger Observatory is a detector for ultra-high energy cosmic rays. It consists of a surface array to measure secondary particles at ground level and a fluorescence detector to measure the development of air showers in the atmosphere above...
We discuss the statistical and systematic uncertainties in the event reconstruction (core location, and determination of S(1000), i.e., the signal at a distance of 1000 m from the shower core) by the Pierre Auger surface detector for showers with z...
The measurement of the individual charged particles especially muons in an extended air shower (EAS) resulting from primary cosmic rays provides important distinguishing parameters to identify the chemical composition of the cosmic primary particles....
The most common way to simplify extensive Monte-Carlo simulations of air showers is to use the thinning approximation. We study its effect on the physical parameters reconstructed from simulated showers. To this end, we have created a library of sh...

In the course of its operation, the Volcano Ranch array collected data on the lateral distribution of showers produced by cosmic rays at energies above $10^{17}$ {\rm eV}. From these data very precise measurements of the steepness of the lateral di...

The High-Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Observatory records the air showers produced by cosmic rays and gamma rays at a rate of about 20 kHz. While the events observed by HAWC are 99.9% hadronic cosmic rays, this background can be strongly suppresse...
If you're seeing hair pile up in your shower drain, you might be wondering: Could hard water have something to do with it?
Culligan offers nine tips to combat winter dry skin, including using a humidifier, avoiding hot showers, and staying hydrated.
You're in the shower when your fingers brush over something unexpected: a small lump under your skin that wasn't there before. Your mind immediately races—Is this serious? Could it be cancer? It's natural to feel worried, and that concern is valid. The truth is, some bumps beneat…
