Pierre Auger Observatoryultra-high energy cosmic raysenergy spectrumelemental compositioncombined data fitWe present a combined fit of both flux and composition of
ultra-high energy cosmic rays as measured by the Pierre Auger
Observatory. The fit has been performed for energies above
5 × 10[sup]18 eV, i.e. the region of the all-particle spectrum
above the so-called “ankle” feature. A simple astrophysical model consisting of identical sources has been adopted, where
nuclei are injected with a rigidity dependent mechanism and the
sources are uniformly distributed in a comoving volume.
The fit results suggest a source model characterized by
relatively low maximum injection energies and hard spectral
indices. The impact of different sources of systematic
uncertainties in the above result is discussed.20152016-03-02 15:27:28Delo ni kategorizirano2143COBISS_ID: 4153083NUK URN: URN:SI:UNG:REP:1TE5XHVQsl
