CCAPP Seminar: Foteini Oikonomou (Penn State) "Multi-messenger results at ultra-high energies from the Pierre Auger Observatory"
The question of the origin of ultra high energy, > 10^19 eV, cosmic rays (UHECRs) remains unanswered, although experimental searches in the last decade have yielded important results, and insights about the universe at ultra-high energies. I will discuss the interpretation of the most recent measurements of the extensive air-showers produced by UHECRs at the Pierre Auger Observatory, and outline current strategies aiming to answer the question of UHECR origin. Emphasis will be given to studies of UHECR arrival directions, dedicated searches for neutral particles (neutrons, photons and neutrinos), and the nascent program of real-time searches for transient UHE emission, as part of multi-messenger monitoring networks.
