Open AccessThe energy spectrum of cosmic rays beyond the turn-down around \(\varvec{10^{17}}\) eV as measured with the surface detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory
We present a measurement of the cosmic-ray spectrum above 100 PeV using the part of the surface detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory that has a spacing of 750 m. An inflection of the spectrum is observed, ...

Open AccessMultiparametric approach to the assessment of muon tomographic results for the inspection of a full-scale container
Experimental results from a dataset collected with a full-scale muon tomograph for the inspection of cargo containers were studied in a single scattering scenario with a multiparametric analysis based on the m...

Open AccessDirect measurement of the muonic content of extensive air showers between \(\mathbf { 2\times 10^{17}}\) and \(\mathbf {2\times 10^{18}}~\)eV at the Pierre Auger Observatory
The hybrid design of the Pierre Auger Observatory allows for the measurement of the properties of extensive air showers initiated by ultra-high energy cosmic rays with unprecedented precision. By using an arra...

First comparison of GEANT4 hadrontherapy physics model with experimental data for a NUMEN project reaction case
Gamma-ray and neutron spectra from the \(^{18}\hbox {O }{+}^{76} \hbox {Se}\)18O+76Se reaction at 15.3 MeV/u were measured with the EDEN array of liquid scintillators at the LNS. The results were compared to GEAN...

Open AccessIntrinsic limits on resolutions in muon- and electron-neutrino charged-current events in the KM3NeT/ORCA detector
Studying atmospheric neutrino oscillations in the few-GeV range with a multi-megaton detector promises to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy. This is the main science goal pursued by the future KM3NeT/ORCA ...

Open AccessLong term monitoring of the optical background in the Capo Passero deep-sea site with the NEMO tower prototype
The NEMO Phase-2 tower is the first detector which was operated underwater for more than 1 year at the “record” depth of 3500 m. It was designed and built within the framework of the NEMO (NEutrino Mediterrane...

16O-8Be break-up states and cluster structure of 24Mg
High-spin states of 24Mg produced in the 16O + 12C interaction and decaying into the 16Og.s. + 8Beg.s. channel have been observed in the excitation region between 35 and 52 MeV. Spins have been assigned on the ba...
