The hybrid performance of the Pierre Auger Observatory

Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper › peer-review

Abstract

The Pierre Auger Observatory detects ultra-high energy cosmic rays by implementing two complementary airshower techniques. The combination of a large ground array and fluorescence detectors, known as the hybrid concept, means that a rich variety of measurements can be made on a single shower, providing much improved information over what is possible with either detector alone. In this paper the hybrid reconstruction approach and its performance are described.
