1. Recent results from the Pierre Auger ObservatorySerguei Vorobiov, 2022, objavljeni povzetek znanstvenega prispevka na konferenci (vabljeno predavanje) Opis: Ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) are mostly protons and heavier nuclei arriving on Earth from space and producing particle cascades in the atmosphere, ”extensive air showers”. As of today, the most precise and high-statistics data set of the rare (≤ 1 particle per sq.km per year above 10[sup]19 eV) UHECR events is obtained by the Pierre Auger Observatory, a large area (~3000 sq.km) hybrid detector in Argentina. The Auger Observatory determines the arrival directions and energies of the primary UHECR particles and provides constraints for their masses.
In this talk, I will present and discuss the recent results, including the detailed measurements of the cosmic-ray energy spectrum features, the study of the anisotropies in the UHECR arrival directions at large and intermediate angular scales, the multi-messenger searches, and the inferred cosmic-ray mass composition. Finally, the progress of the current upgrade of the Observatory, "AugerPrime" which is aimed at improving the sensitivity to the mass composition of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays, will be presented.

6. Large-Scale Distribution of Arrival Directions of Cosmic Rays Detected at the Pierre Auger Observatory and the Telescope Array above 10[sup]19 eVOlivier Deligny, Andrej Filipčič, Gašper Kukec Mezek, Ahmed Saleh, Samo Stanič, Marta Trini, Darko Veberič, Serguei Vorobiov, Lili Yang, Danilo Zavrtanik, Marko Zavrtanik, 2015, objavljeni znanstveni prispevek na konferenci Opis: The large-scale distribution of arrival directions of
high-energy cosmic rays is a key observable in attempts to
understanding their origin. The dipole and quadrupole moments
are of special interest in revealing potential anisotropies.
An unambiguous measurement of these moments as well as
of the full set of spherical harmonic coefficients requires
full-sky coverage. This can be achieved by combining data from
observatories located in both the northern and southern
hemispheres. To this end, a joint analysis using data recorded
at the Pierre Auger Observatory and the Telescope Array above
10[sup]19 eV has been performed. Thanks to the full-sky
coverage, the measurement of the dipole moment reported in
this study does not rely on any assumption on the underlying
flux of cosmic rays. As well, the resolution on the quadrupole
and higher order moments is the best ever obtained. The
resulting multipolar expansion of the flux of cosmic rays
allows a series of anisotropy searches to be performed,
and in particular to report on the first angular power
spectrum of cosmic rays. This allows a comprehensive
description of the angular distribution of cosmic rays
above 10[sup]19 eV.
