seminar tomorrow 11 am : Anisotropy Studies with the Pierre Auger Observatory
by Aart Heijboer 29 Feb '12

29 Feb '12

Hi all, Tomorrow at 11 am in h320 there will be a seminar by Stephan Schulte, who is interviewing for a post-doc position in our group. Title and abstract are below. I'd appreciate it if you come and ask questions! best regards, Aart. Anisotropy Studies with the Pierre Auger Observatory Stephan Schulte - RWTH Aachen University The Pierre Auger Observatory (PAO) in Malargüe (Argentina) reconstructs the arrival directions and energies of cosmic rays with energies exceeding 10^{18} eV. Under the assumption that the primary particles at the highest energies are only minimally deflected by the intergalactic magnetic field, it can be tested whether their arrival directions overlap with astronomical objects. In this context the PAO has observed a correlation of ultra high energy cosmic rays (UHECR) with nearby active galactic nuclei (AGN). In this talk a complementary approach is chosen. To this end, Autocorrelation methods are studied. They have the advantage of being independent of source and propagation models predicting the distribution of the arrival directions of UHECRs. However, to discover the assets and drawbacks of each method a Monte Carlo study is performed using simulated data sets based on a few of these modes. In the end, we compare the result when applied to data to the one of the catalogue-dependent correlation analysis by using the same event set.

Dear all, Claudio and I are scheduled to be on shift on the week of 18-25 of August. This however will be the week that we are away for the ICRC conference in Beijing. It would be very convenient if it is possible to switch with another shifters couple from Nikhef. Otherwise we will need to search for substitution within the collaboration. Please let us know if you are available for such a change. Best regards, Claudio and Dimitris

Dear new colleagues, unfortunately I couldn't bring a cake to the last group meeting to celebrate my first day at Nikhef. However, I managed to bring one today and therefore I would like to invite you all to come to my current office (H 351) at 3 PM to have a piece of cake with me. If this in a general conflict with another appointment, please tell me and I will shift the time accordingly. See you in the afternoon, Stephan
