The Pierre Auger Observatory project investigates ultra-high energy cosmic rays by analyzing extensive air showers. It aims to understand discrepancies in muon content compared to simulations, which may indicate new physics or uncertainties in energy extrapolation from collider experiments.
The Pierre Auger Observatory detects extensive air showers that are initiated by protons or nuclei reaching Earth'satmosphere with energies exceeding 10**18 eV (ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECR)).
The center-of-mass energy of the initial interaction of the CRs in the atmosphere exceeds the energies reached at the LHC by more than an order of magnitude.One of the key results of Auger is the discovery that these interactions of UHECRs do not behave as expected.
Compared to simulations the meas…
