PIERRE AUGER COLLABORATION (J. ABRAHAM, ... , A. MARIAZZI, ET AL)
Lugar:
Lodz, Polonia
Reunión:
Conferencia; 31th International Cosmic Ray Conference; 2009
Resumen:
While the most likely candidates forcosmic rays above 1018 eV are protons and nuclei,many of the scenarios of cosmic ray origin predictin addition a photon component. Detection of thiscomponent is not only of importance for cosmic-rayphysics but would also open a new research windowwith impact on astrophysics, cosmology, particle andfundamental physics. The Pierre Auger Observatorycan be used for photon searches of unprecedentedsensitivity. At this conference, the status of this searchwill be reported. In particular the first experimentallimits at EeV energies will be presented.
