New Feature Found in UHECR Energy Spectrum by the Pierre Auger Collaboration
25 Sep 2020 by Gina IsarThe energy spectrum of the highest-energy particles in the Universe, ultra-high energy cosmic rays, has been measured with the Pierre Auger Observatory with an unprecedented precision. In addition to the well-known kink in the energy spectrum, typically referred to as the ankle, a new spectral break is found at somewhat higher energy.

A search for cosmic-ray sources with IceCube, the Pierre Auger Observatory, and the Telescope Array
8 Dec 2015 by spacescienceIn a new study by the IceCube, Pierre Auger and Telescope Array Collaborations, scientists have looked for correlations between the highest energy neutrino candidates in IceCube and the highest energy cosmic rays in these two cosmic-ray observatories.
The results, submitted to the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, have not found any correlation at discovery level. However, potentially interesting results have been found and will continue to be studied in future joint analyses.

Romania became a full member of the Pierre Auger international collaboration
25 Mar 2014 by spacescienceOn March 13, 2014, Romania was officially accepted as a full member state in the “Pierre Auger Observatory” international collaboration. Spread over an area of 3000 km2 in Argentina, Auger is the largest cosmic radiation experiment in the world. The collaboration allows the Romanian researchers to contribute to discerning the mysteries of ultra-high energies cosmic rays.
