Science with the Global Cosmic-ray Observatory (GCOS) Open

Rafael Alves Batista, M. Ahlers, P. Assis, Matteo Battisti, Jose A. Bellido , et al. · 2023

The Global Cosmic-ray Observatory (GCOS) is a proposed large-scale observatory for studying ultra-high-energy cosmic particles, including ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs), photons, and neutrinos. Its primary goal is to characterise t…

A possible effect of the Fermi bubbles and associated magnetic structures on the incoming directions of ultra high energy cosmic rays Open

Thomas Fitoussi, Gustavo Medina‐Tanco, Juan-Carlos D’Olivo · 2023

There are numerous indications that the Milky Way has a hot material outflow originating from the Galactic center. Among others, the so-called Fermi bubbles discovered in 2010 strengthens this possibility. The origin of this nuclear wind i…

The Extreme Universe Space Observatory on a Super Pressure Balloon 1\n(EUSO-SPB1) instrument was launched out of Wanaka, New Zealand, by NASA in\nApril, 2017 as a mission of opportunity. The detector was developed as part of\nthe Joint Exp…

The 320 EeV Fly's Eye event: a key messenger or a statistical oddity? Open

Thomas Fitoussi, Gustavo Medina‐Tanco, Juan Carlos D'Olivo · 2020

Almost three decades ago, the Fly's Eye experiment recorded the most energetic cosmic-ray ever observed. With an energy of 320 EeV, this event is well beyond the suppression region of the ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECR) spectrum. Mod…

Legacy from Fly’s Eye: Making sense of the Highest Energy Cosmic Ray Ever Observed Open

Thomas Fitoussi, Gustavo Medina‐Tanco, Juan-Carlos D’Olivo · 2019

The Fly's Eye detector recorded the most energetic cosmic ray event ever observed. With an energy of 320 EeV, it lays far beyond the suppression of the ultra-high energy cosmic ray (UHECR) energy spectrum. If its energy is indeed well dete…

Phenomenological Uncertainties Imposed by our Local Magnetized Neighborhood on the Interpretation of the UHECR Directional Data Open

Thomas Fitoussi, Gustavo Medina‐Tanco, Juan-Carlos D’Olivo · 2019

Magnetic fields can produce non-negligible deflections in the trajectories of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic rays (UHECR), hindering the identification of potential sources from their observed arrival directions. The Galactic Magnetic Field (GMF…
